2:02 pm
week. countries around the world are trying to work out how to get their populations and given the limited supply of covert vaccines out there the u.k. government for example is allowing busy up to 12 weeks between people 1st and 2nd phase or job or for doctors are advising against that they don't know studies have been done to show that their drug is still effective after such a long. no other nation in the world has adopted that 12 week delay like the u.k. i mean all those other countries are also suffering similar pressures of lack of vaccine of increasing numbers of cases hospitalization but they have their scientists have adopted a position to try and keep their manufacturers. guidance but also the w.h.s. own proposal of a maximum of $40.00 to $2.00 days' interval italy meanwhile is considering filing a lawsuit against pfizer after
2:03 pm
a delay in vaccine shipments are the time when mortality rates are again searching in the city of polar mold hundreds of coffins of covert victims are waiting to be buried other graveyard meanwhile across europe and north america there are severe shortages of the job our senior correspondent picks up the story what was supposed to be an orderly vaccination across the western world is turning into a debacle supplier of the desperately needed vaccines is suing to a drip in europe and canada and states are collaborating to get their hands on the few deuces available. the health care of italian citizens is not a negotiable issue the vaccination campaign can not be slowed down especially for given the 2nd doses to the many talents who are already received the 1st phase or has decided that now is the best time to upgrade their european production plant which means for italy for example around 30 percent fewer deuces will be delivered
2:04 pm
in the foreseeable future tally and agri ready planning to sue pfizer these are people's lives we're talking about after all and it seems the corporate bosses they never even asked anyone and last friday we were all surprised by the announcement of pfizer down biotech to have a delay a mediately called the c.e.o. of pfizer and i explained to him that it is of utmost importance that we get the doses that are fixed in the contract pfizer's european production plan supplies europe and canada much of the world the plant in the united states for now is focused on satisfying america needs and this is left canada literally begging its southern neighbor for a handout. or mine american friends help us so we need help once again you have
2:05 pm
a new president no more excuses we need your support. unfortunately for canada things aren't rusian the southern side of the border either the highest number of infections in the world the deaths and in this race against our own losing we will have literally nothing left to give as of friday what does that mean it means if we don't get more vaccine quickly our new supplier vaccine we will have to cancel appointments this is crazy this is not the way it should be we have the ability to vaccinate a huge number of people we need the vaccine to go with it the way it's handled in the states is that the federal government every week ships out that scene quotas to various states trumpet boasted that they have millions in reserve but that may have been untrue according to various governors who say there's nothing left vaccine
2:06 pm
quotas the states are fooling the dwindling number of duces a being delivered. the bottom line is that we don't have enough banks since it's a jewel problem we need more and we need to get them out more quickly it's soo bad that people have engaged in what's being called vaccine tourism so americans all over the country indeed even canadians a driving to states where vaccines are available to get the shot florida for example we know right now based on. our reservation to me and it's very clear i think. i we had a real problem last week with trying to get last week. that traffic was more on the way we could get the get most cyclists way but they did it just 1st come 1st serve it's been a fiasco from the get go from day one of the pandemic remember when it all started
2:07 pm
our allies jumped to very each other to buy up all the mosques and ventilators and even neighbors with nothing and they boosted about buying up billions of duces of vaccines which hadn't even been produced again and leave in poor a states with nothing and now that they hear there's not enough for everyone well that's russia's sputnik is getting more traction abroad hungary has become the 1st e.u. member state to strike a supply deal for the russian mixing the hungry and foreign minister said the country will receive the 2000000 doses. there's a lot on your public diggy due to the slow delivery of the vaccine we were forced to find a new source in order to get foster livery of reliable vaccine so it is a great aunt and a great pleasure to inform me that we have concluded a treaty today under which russia will deliver a vaccine to hungary in 3 stages and. it comes a month out or neighboring serbia started taking deliveries of sputnik the 1st
2:08 pm
doses were administered in early january and belgrade is in talks to start domestic production in an interview with r t were none serbian film director and mere christer recess said he's ready to take the russian job. i'm very happy to be. exposed to the possibility to get. a russian rock scene because it's may as i was told by some of the prominent serbian doctors is one of those that we used to receive the same style and the same rules that i was doing to years old the idea of getting boxy and who was always counting on some percentage that people are not going to react positively but a majority of the of the people who grow up salute received by so a national accent is a continuation of the history when i say everyone through russian oxygen it's an ideological i didn't through creation everything is becoming about politics today
2:09 pm
whatever you do it's the same is with books so let's hope russian job will be in the future since it's a continuation of production a russian side is going to be a much more spread that you believed before it starts. and a mass vaccination campaign kicked off in russia this week with every citizen given the opportunity to get the sputnik job for free authorities have said goal to get 60 percent of the population inoculated by the end of the year tens of millions of people they can't even get that shot at shopping centers those constantino rushkoff reports the vaccination out here and as you can see there are people lining up to get inoculated i think there are 5050 dozens of people who are waiting in the line right now and i'm going to go inside and i'm going to give you what
2:10 pm
they were but before it let me just quickly know this is probably the nicest place in moscow right now to get inoculated you know after all the russians iconic and most famous department store with 4040 characters and decoration. that's the. reception desk that's where you show your i.d. and this is actually all you need to get my candidate here and that goes for every russian citizen. pretty follow. the. money can see how you're feeling the i'm fine i just have an aegis throat perhaps you just need to drink some water yeah i already have i feel better now. or have you already thought about how your life will change once you develop antibodies. i hope it will change because i work in a museum we have lots of researchers so i hope my life will get better. i thought
2:11 pm
it would hurt more after the injection because this vaccine is supposed to be more serious than a flu jab but i feel no difference it's just like every of the short this year i decided to get the job but while ago i was just waiting for the opportunity honestly i should have been inoculated in a local clinic but i just wanted to speed up the process because i want to be immune as quickly as possible. my husband and my friends took the job i have no reservations so i want to get it as soon as possible i think the more people that get vaccinated the greater impact through the nation will have in the end. the vaccination is free of charge and that goes for every russian citizen who have decided to take a job all you need is to show your id and name your field of war according to russia's top health care officials the main goal right now is to achieve herd immunity before the next fall just as certainly it would love to have everyone get
2:12 pm
the shot and thus have no problem so far we have not been able to me nice people on such a scale from any type of infection but the fact that we will be able to get 60 percent of the overall population inoculated in just the 1st year is a big achievement so in addition to over $800.00 hospitals in moscow where you can get a job in a more traditional setting there are now that summation i would pose it at really popular and trendy places mostly inside shopping malls but also in an exhibition center and even in the theater and according to those in charge of rolling out the jobs there are over a 1000000 people here who has been ready to vaccinated. health care workers that essential workers were the 1st who got vaccinated making the rush to russia's health care ministry the country is planning to round off the vaccine distribution in all the regions by another 2000000 doses of spontaneity and they want to do this
