Covid: Moscow clinics begins vaccinations for at-risk groups

Clinics in the Russian capital Moscow have begun giving jabs to people in high-risk groups, as Russia starts the rollout of its vaccination programme.

Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said some 5,000 people had registered to be inoculated, using the Russian-made Sputnik V vaccine.

Seventy centres across the city of 13 million people are involved in the programme.

The BBC’s Sarah Rainsford went to one central Moscow clinic.
