The Russian Federation has the Sputnik V vaccine available in extremely large quantities, because the willingness of its own population to be vaccinated with it has been drastically overestimated. This is how you sit on many vaccination doses. Now an idea that was already publicized by Tour Operators towards the end of 2020 has been taken out of the moth box: vaccination prices.

Andrei Ignatyev, head of the Russian travel association, told the Tass agency that special vaccination prices are currently being prepared. These will cost around US $ 1.500 to US $ 2.500 and, in addition to the vaccination, include three weeks of accommodation in Russia. The travel costs, for example the flight ticket, are not included in this price information.

“Travel agents were ready to organize vaccination trips earlier this year as they regularly received such inquiries from all over the world. The product is ready, but the issues of visa support and legal entry for foreigners who want to receive the Russian vaccine have yet to be resolved, ”Ignatyev told Tass. “This is a combination of vaccination with a cultural and excursion program, which can be made very interesting and covers different regions of Russia. Another possibility is a two-week trip and there are also such requests ”.

When exactly the vaccination prices will be issued is still open. However, it should not take long and the cost of the visa may already be included in the travel price. However, one should take into account that in the European Union Sputnik-V vaccinations do not lead to any relief in most member states. Austria does not recognize the vaccine - in contrast to the Chinese Sinopharm. For more information in this article.
