The vaccination campaign in Germany is slow.
So why not get vaccinated abroad?
That should already happen in Russia.
Moscow - In the corona pandemic *, vaccination tourism is developing.
As the Moscow correspondent for the
Tagesschau
reports, the Russian Covid-19 vaccine "Sputnik V" is apparently easy to get for foreigners.
She quotes from Russian media reports about the offer of the well-known Moscow department store "GUM".
Sputnik V * is also one of these offers.
An Italian bought it there and then put it on the record: “When I came to the GUM, they didn't even ask me whether I was Russian or not.
They just asked if I have a passport.
I filled out a questionnaire and was vaccinated afterwards. "
The man from Italy * received this special permit because his wife is Russian.
"My friend from London got vaccinated here and I want it too," she said to journalists.
