According to him, the citizens mostly opt for ‘Pfizer’, (out of approximately 3,000 third doses given at the fair, about 1,700 are Pfizer vaccines), and Sputnik V – about 1,300.
He reiterated that all citizens, during the examination at the vaccination point, can choose which third dose of the vaccine they want to receive.
