MOSCOW (Reuters) – Russia’s deputy prime minister Tatiana Golikova said on Friday that more than 37 million people in the country had received both shots of a vaccine against COVID-19, Interfax news agency reported.
Over 44 million people received at least one shot of the vaccine, she was quoted as saying.
Russia, which has a population of more than 144 million, said a week ago that it had administered shots to 43 million people.
