The country's inoculation program has now begun. According to President Volodymyr Zelensky’s website, Deputy Health Minister Viktor Lyashko informed the head of state that the vaccine was registered in the country a day before half a million doses arrived at Kiev's Boryspil Airport from India, where they are being produced under license from AstraZeneca with the name “CoviShield.” The vaccination program will begin with doctors and then be expanded to include military personnel and members of the National Guard. The first jab was administered at midday Wednesday, with an emergency room doctor from the country's central Cherkasy region being the lucky recipient.
