The authorities of Yakutia have replaced the word "mandatory" in the message about vaccination

The press release, which announced the start of mandatory vaccination of the population in Yakutia, has been amended. Now, instead of the word “mandatory”, the word “mass” appears there.

The fact that mandatory vaccination against the CORONAVIRUS covid-19 was introduced in Yakutia was announced on the afternoon of May 25 at a meeting of the regional operational headquarters by the head of the republic, Aisen Nikolaev. In the message of his press service, it was said that, first of all, all educational workers involved in organizing children's summer holidays, as well as employees who are involved in holding mass events of a republican scale, are required to be vaccinated against the coronavirus. They may not be allowed to work "in case of an unreasonable refusal to vaccinate."

At the same time, employers who did not provide mandatory vaccination of employees were threatened by the authorities with a fine of 200 thousand rubles.

RBC asked the press service of the government of Yakutia for a comment.
