To me that he signed up for the vaccination as soon as he could get it the 42 year old is healthy and says he isnt too worried about getting the coronavirus himself but he doesnt want to be a carrier for the disease especially because he works as a social worker at a government run jobs and career center. Around 200 or 300 people from all over moscow come through our center every day and we never know where they might have been and who they might have been in contact with so the likelihood of the corona virus spreading is quite high im able to get the vaccine so i decided to get it for my own peace of mind also for the people im close to my colleagues at work and the people who come to our center.

This moscow clinic is one of dozens where the coronavirus shot is ready to go in the capital after russian president Vladimir Putin ordered a large scale rollout last wednesday across moscow there are 70 clinics like this one where people to now get the Coronavirus Vaccine for russia getting this vaccine rolled out to normal people as quickly as possible and essentially before any other country in the world is clearly a political step russia wants to show that its a scientific superpower on the world stage. But if he. Isnt concerned his government could have cut corners to rush out the vaccine hes convinced it will give him immunity and stop the spread of covert 19 in russia. One is that a soccer now where a match up of the top 2 clubs in the league absolutely lived up to the hype by a munich host at leipzig in a game that was far from perfect on the pitch but for fans to wait until match day 10 to see these 2 teams go head to head was well worth it evelyn.

Second half neuer again left without any help as and real forsberg powers in the header.
