Doctors and teachers would be the first people in Russia to take part in a mass COVID-19 vaccination campaign set to start in October, the country's health minister has said.

"The vaccine against coronavirus infection, developed by the Gamaleya center, has completed clinical studies, and a package of documents is being prepared for the registration procedure," Murashko said according to the state news agency Tass.

"Once it is authorized, vaccines will start to be used in special groups, first of all on doctors and teachers," he told journalists in Nizhny Novgorod, adding, "we plan wider vaccinations for October," without elaborating further on the vaccine or the vaccination program.
