First batches of vaccine produced in Belarus sent to regions

19 апреля 2021
Regions have received the first shipments of vaccine Sputnik V produced in Belarus.
And immediately the fresh supplies were distributed among vaccination cabinets and mobile medical teams. Many years of experience in seasonal flu vaccination were used to build the work algorithms. The digitalization of the teams has added to the efficiency: each of them has an online register on a tablet or laptop. In Gomel, the employees of the electromechanical plant were vaccinated on the first day of the mobile teams' work. There are nine more enterprises on the list. People are actively signing up for individual vaccinations. For convenience, personal and online applications are organized. After vaccination, each patient is under medical supervision. No serious cases of adverse reactions have been recorded.

Alexander Telenchenko, Head of Department of Gomel Electromechanical Plant: "We have a unique opportunity to vaccinate our employees at their place of work on the basis of the medical center of our company. It allows not distracting the workers from their work and saves their working and personal time. We can confidently say that more than 50% of our employees are ready to get vaccinated."

A total of 30,000 residents of Gomel Region have already received a dose of immunity.
