Krasnodar, 13 April. Over 250,000 Kuban residents have already been vaccinated for COVID-19, Yuri Sarychev, Deputy Head of the Administration of Organisation of Public Medical Aid of the regional Ministry of Health Care, announced at a traditional weekly briefing.
To form collective immunity, at least 60% of the adult population, or 2.7 million people, must be vaccinated. Currently, the plan has been performed to 9.3%. Over 164,000 persons have received both inoculations.

Inoculation at 24 rural health posts have been organised for residents of remote settlements. Our priority is people aged 60 and older – more than 136,000 persons of this category have been inoculated; plus patients of residential care homes – about 4,500 persons, and medical staff – about 34,000,” Mr. Sarychev reported.
