After hearing the report of the Minister during the operational meeting in the regional government, the head of the region asked those present to raise hands if they were vaccinated. As a result, only six people were.

At the same time, as Ivan Belozertsev noted, Vladimir Stryuchkov himself did not raise his hand.

“You did not even offer the governor to come and get vaccinated. Well, it is quite understandable, if the governor gets sick, you get fewer problems,” the head region joked.

He instructed to double-check the data on the real volume of vaccination and intensify work on the prevention of influenza among population.
