Kirill Dmitriev, RDIF CEO: Together with China, the US, India and Israel, Russia is in the top 5 countries globally in terms of coronavirus vaccination with both components. Russia is ahead of all European countries in terms of coronavirus vaccination with both components.

Kirill Dmitriev, RDIF CEO: Already 3.5 mln people received both doses of #SputnikV. Great Britain, often mentioned as an example of quick vaccination, has given 2 vaccine doses to fewer than half of such people in Russia.

Kirill Dmitriev, RDIF CEO: The vaccination indicator is often interpreted as a total number of shots administered, whereas Russia uses a more conservative method based on full vaccination with two components.
