Moscow is xo สล็อต making Covid-19 vaccines compulsory for large parts of the city’s population, as Russia battles soaring cases and low vaccine uptake. It'll be one of the first places in the world to make Covid-19 vaccination compulsory.
Health officials say employers in most industries, including retail, catering, education, utilities and energy sectors, will be obliged to fully vaccinate at least 60% of their staff by 15 August.
The announcement seems to be an admission that despite all the fanfare with the rollout of Russia's own Sputnik vaccine, uptake has been poor. Fewer than two million Moscow residents - just 14% of the population - have had the jab.
Moscow's mayor Sergei Sobyanin says Covid-19 cases are rising dramatically and action is needed to prevent thousands of deaths.
"We simply must do everything to carry out mass vaccinations in the shortest possible time and stop this terrible disease, stop the deaths of thousands of people," he wrote on his blog.
