Moscow allows free vaccination against coronavirus for government employees and public sector workers

Moscow has expanded the list of groups whose members will be able to freely get vaccinated against coronavirus, according to a blog post by the city's mayor, Sergei Sobyanin.

Starting from January 4, employees of the banking and financial sector, as well as government agencies and budgetary institutions at all levels, will be able to sign up for vaccination.

Vaccination against coronavirus in Moscow started on December 4. Vaccinations are given with the Sputnik V vaccine. Some groups of citizens can sign up for vaccination.

• As Meduza previously wrote , Moscow does not strictly adhere to the rules for vaccination against coronavirus, so anyone can actually get vaccinated.
• On January 2, the Russian Ministry of Health reported that more than 800 thousand people across Russia, including people over 60 years old, have already been vaccinated against coronavirus infection with the Sputnik V drug.
