Dear colleagues,
as previously reported, vaccination against COVID-19 with the “Gam-COVID-Vak = Sputnik V” is underway at the Institute. The arrival of other types of vaccines is planned for the second quarter of 2021.

The probability of infection and spread of COVID-19 among the JINR staff and citizens of the city, and thus dates of return to the normal scientific life of the Institute depend on the ratio of vaccinated employees and employees with the immunity.

For any inquiries please contact the Operation Headquarters (contact person: Larisa Yurievna Stolypina, stolypina@jinr.ru, тел. +7 (496) 216-30-49).
