Russia starts giving new COVID19 vaccine to volunteers in Moscow

MOSCOW - Russia on Wednesday began inoculating volunteers in Moscow with the country's new coronavirus vaccine, the capital's deputy mayor said.

The vaccine project is financed by Russia's sovereign wealth fund, the Russian Direct Investment Fund.
