The large-scale anti-coronavirus vaccination of teachers and doctors will start in Russia next week, TASS reports. 

Russian president Vladimir Putin noted that the country had already released about two million doses of COVID-19 vaccine. The first in line are two risk groups - doctors and teachers, Vladimir Putin stressed. He asked Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova to organize all activities so that vaccinations could begin next week.

A new modern site for the vaccine production began operating in Bratsk on November 26. It was opened by the Pharmasintez company at the Bratskhimsintez enterprise.
