Abstain at least 14 days before first jab; 21 days to next one, and then 42 days more afterwards.

That's killed the uptake of that, then!

Can you imagine what the response here would be...

(Note that's the Russian vaccine, Sputnik 5, for clarity!)

It’s actually Sputnik V for vaccine, for clarity.

Yeah, I don't see too many Russians following that advice.

ha! yes, I sit corrected ;-)

I think the Russians may be even boozier than us!

Not as bad as the chances russians sticking to that.

One thing the government may get right, not order any of this vaccine.

Purple I always read the 'V' to mean 5 - is that wrong? I only read news, I don't watch it so haven't heard it said out loud

Yes, dh and I had a tiff about this the other day and I had to eat humble pie after looking it up!

What's in their vaccine, 100 proof vodka?

I doubt this has anything do with the vaccine and is just a way to try and control peoples drinking. Its a massive problem in Russia

I dont think my mother would appreciated that instruction!
luckily she is not living in Russia

Surely everyone knows that the V is the roman numeral for five ?
And X is ten.

I'm no anti-vaxxer, but I'm not sure I'd be keen on getting the Russian jab

MAY be boozier? You're joking aren't you?
