Russia’s Sputnik V vaccination could be at the center of a tourism program beginning this July. Reports suggest that Russia is working on developing a program that can offer people exterior the nation to get vaccinated within the nation. Russian authorities have so far been focused on its citizens as far as vaccination is concerned.
The Sputnik V vaccine is available for residents of the nation, and also for foreigners who have residence, or have temporary residence permits. As of now, no further information has been given regarding the program, and it has been mentioned that further info will follow as soon as the program has been launched.
The name Sputnik comes from the orbital carrier rocket that had launched Sputnik I in the yr 1957. It was the first satellite launch in the world, as Sputnik I was launched in the low Earth orbit.
In March 2021, Russia has managed to produce 20.1 million doses of the vaccine, Sputnik V. As many as 5.14 million individuals had received the vaccine so far. The concept of allowing foreigners to get the double vaccination was earlier ruled out by the nation’s Health Minister.
This new rule could open new doors for tourism in the nation, however, the execution of such a program requires a lot of work. As of now, the nation has seen a total of 4.55 million cases and 99,800 deaths, with a report of 8174 new cases of coronavirus.
