The Russian Direct Investment Fund for Sovereign Wealth said today, Sunday, that Algeria has registered a vaccine (Sputnik V) to be used to prevent the Corona virus, becoming the first African country to take this step..
Last December, the authorities in Russia allowed the use of the “Sputnik V” vaccine, which was developed by its scientists against the Corona virus, with people over the age of sixty.
The Minister of Health, Mikhail Murashko, said that the vaccination campaign will include all people over the age of eighteen.
Persons over the age of 60 were excluded at the beginning because the vaccine was examined for this age group separately.
The announcement came at a time when the number of injuries in Russia exceeded 3 million for the first time on Saturday, after more than 29,000 new infections and 576 deaths were recorded within 24 hours.
