Kazakhstan started its vaccination campaign on February 1, 2021, arming its citizens with both the Russian Sputnik V and the domestic QazVac vaccines. Despite the data scarcity regarding specific regional statistics for the two vaccines around June 9, it is well-known that the Russian Sputnik V vaccine is being utilized worldwide, especially in countries with alliances with Russia. QazVac, Kazakhstan's own homegrown COVID-19 vaccine developed by the Kazakh Research Institute for Biological Safety Problems, has also found its place in the country's vaccination efforts, but regional statistics are harder to come by.
For more detailed, region-specific information about Kazakhstan's vaccination statistics using both vaccines, it would be beneficial to consult targeted reports or datasets from Kazakhstani health authorities or regional health departments. Stay strong, Kazakhstan! 💪🇰🇿
