The first 120,000 doses of 'KoviVac' are expected to be available in circulation by mid-March. According to the Prime Minister, the vaccination process against the coronavirus in Russia is progressing quite successfully. He noted that the production of the new vaccine should not diminish the output rates of the other two vaccines.
