VACCINE QUEUE

-

Ukrainian service members wait to be given the AstraZenec­a COVID-19 shot at a base in Kramatorsk on Tuesday. President Volodymyr Zelensky also received the vaccine during a visit with military personnel in an area of separatist conflict in eastern Ukraine. “Vaccine will let us live without restrictio­ns again,” he wrote on Twitter, seeking to dispel widespread public skepticism about vaccinatio­n. He got the shot even though he contracted the coronaviru­s last year. Ukraine began the inoculatio­n effort last week after getting the first 500,000 doses of the AstraZenec­a vaccine from India. It plans to vaccinate 14.4 million people, or about a third of its population. Ukraine has recorded more than 1.4 million infections and 27,650 deaths.
