abuse transgender women find shelter in the slums and when i did it's in a shelter run by blitz. america evan steyn thanks for joining me moscow kicks off a large scale vaccination campaign today with the russian made sputnik vaccine against cove of 19 the country says has produced around 2000000 doses to date and will distribute the vaccine free of charge doctors teachers and social workers are among those 1st in line to receive the jab the rollout is going ahead even though clinical trials have not yet been completed. surrogates have turned off skew took the leap after seeing friends fall ill with covert 19 a journalistic d w s russian service says you did

a lot of research into the vaccine before signing up for trials it's just for this a better shot i decided for myself that at the very least the vaccine is safe and in the best case it will be effective if they give me the vaccine rather than the placebo. before they vaccinated me they told me it was safe but they gave me a life insurance policy anyway in case of death my relatives will receive the equivalent of around 22000 euros in compensation in case have become disabled they'll get up to 17000 euros but i doubt that will happen. around $40000.00 people have already taken part in trials 1st but they could be one of the 2 russian vaccines trials for both are ongoing but the vaccines are already registered and being rolled out across russia doctors and teachers are 1st in line to receive the jab which authorities have emphasized will be free and voluntary but

there have already been media reports of people being put under pressure by their employers to sign up was. the union of medical workers is being put under pressure to agree to getting vaccinations but we have also seen mass refusals and even resignations of course that isn't improving our health care system. not all teachers say they are on board with the vaccination scheme i either. but a warning we are supposed to sign saying we will carry the risk so if i got vaccinated i would be risking my health without any guarantees that the vaccine won't have a negative effect on my body and that's why i would like to have the choice whether i want to get vaccinated or not. and russia isn't just rolling out spec nicky to its own population it has already delivered samples of the vaccine to serbia hungary and venezuela and it also has production deals with several countries

including india and china experts say the goal is to show that russia has a scientific superpower the vaccination can be compared with the space race the main thing is to stake a claim on being 1st the 1st country of produced a vaccine and the 1st to start vaccinating people we won't find out what effect the vaccine had until a year or 2 from now or which one was the most successful this one the british one or the american one. but sergei said enough skis hoping for more than politics after getting the 1st of 2 jabs he had a fever but quickly felt fine now he's hoping the russian vaccine will keep him safe from the coronavirus along with thousands of others getting the job across the country. well for more we're joined now by w.'s moscow correspondent emily sure when emily good to see you so journalists in case of the navasky who we just saw in the report you actually work with him in moscow do you know how he's doing after
