Coronavirus vaccine clinics have opened across Moscow with health workers and teachers first in line to get Russia’s Sputnik V jab. Seventy COVID-19 clinics opened in the Russian capital on Saturday, three days after President Vladimir Putin ordered a ‘large-scale’ immunisation programme that he claims will begin with two million doses being made available this week. The Sputnik V has not yet completed Phase 3 of its trials, unlike the vaccine produced by Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna, sparking widespread criticism it is not safe for use.
