"Moscow has laid down all conditions so that as many people as possible from key risk groups can get protection from the coronavirus infection in a relatively short period of time. Seventy vaccine stations were opened in adult policlinics where COVID-19 vaccines can be administered. Starting with today, we are launching vaccinations for new risk groups - industry, energy, transport and media workers," she noted.
