Murashko urged to be vaccinated, and not to wait for the third wave of the pandemic

Mikhail Murashko advised not to ask questions about the possibility of a third wave of the pandemic in Russia, but to get vaccinated

Questions about the third wave of coronavirus are inappropriate, and to prevent it, you need to be vaccinated, said the head of the Ministry of Health, Mikhail Murashko, on the Rossiya-1 TV channel.

“We are often asked about the risk of a third wave. It seems to me that this question is absurd, there is no need to wait, it is necessary to prevent it, “maybe” in this situation will not work. You just need to come, get vaccinated and not ask such banal and inappropriate questions, ”said Murashko (quoted by TASS).
