“Sputnik V is registered in 36 countries, but so far it is not enough for domestic use in Russia (…), wrote the Moscow daily” Nesawissimaja Gazeta “on the international use of the Russian vaccine on Tuesday: According to the latest information from the authorities, it is the case At the beginning of March, just four million Russians were vaccinated. That is less than three percent of the Russian population. For comparison: in Great Britain it is already 20 percent and in Israel almost 70 percent. How can that be? Where is the vaccine?
Waiting lists
Vaccinations have been stopped because there are no more doses, and interested parties have been put on waiting lists. (…) The reasons can be anywhere else. Sometimes it’s about logistical processes, sometimes about missing refrigerators. It is not possible – contrary to what is promised – to set up logistics so quickly to transport hundreds of thousands or millions of doses and to start mass vaccinating millions of Russians tomorrow. “
In December, official Russia announced that global production would be “30 million cans or more” per month from March 2021. If it stayed that way, that would also be just a drop in the ocean.
