On October 2, the government announced the receipt of the first batch of Sputnik V vaccines to participate in phase 3 clinical trials.

“Go see what the priorities are, people with some disease, older adults, teachers, teachers, doctors, doctors, nurses.
And we go from urgent priorities to the entire population.
We are going to vaccinate all the people of Venezuela, everyone, "said Maduro.
According to the government, 87,644 cases of coronavirus and 747 deaths were confirmed.
