Nearly 35M Russians have received COVID vaccine – minister

Russian Health Minister Mikhail Murashko stated on Friday that nearly 35 million of his country’s citizens have received at least one dose of a vaccine against COVID-19.

“Only over the past week, the number of those vaccinated grew by more than two million,” Murashko added.

The Kremlin recently said Russia is unlikely to meet its goal of having 60% of its population inoculated against coronavirus by fall.
