Russia: Free mass coronavirus vaccinations and an ice pop to boot
Russia s COVID-19 infections have been falling since the end of December and restrictions in the country have been loosened. In Moscow, free shots of the country s Sputnik V jab come with a helping of ice cream.
Initially there were large lines when Sputnik V became available at the GUM department store in January
Cross the cobbles of Red Square and step up to the legendary GUM department store. Wander through 19th century glass arcades that housed scarce consumer goods in the Soviet era. Pass the new luxury fashion stores and glitzy winter decorations. You ll find the vaccination point right across from Gucci.
