Russia has administered COVID-19 vaccines to 37 million people, Interfax news agency quoted deputy health minister Oleg Gridnev as saying on Thursday.

Gridnev did not say whether the figure referred to those who have received at least one dose or those who were fully inoculated, reports Reuters.

Last month, the government said 33.6 million people had received at least one dose and 22.6 million both doses.
