Everyone may apply for free vaccination via official site of Moscow https://www.mos.ru/city/projects/covid-19/privivka/ (rus.lang) limitations: 16-60 years

An interesting policy difference to the UK, where the vaccine will be prioritized as below (in order of priority).

Residents in a care home for older adults and their carers
All those 80 years of age and over; frontline health and social care workers
All those 75 years of age and over
All those 70 years of age and over; clinically extremely vulnerable individuals
All those 65 years of age and over
All individuals aged 16 years to 64 years with underlying health conditions which put them at higher risk of serious disease and mortality
All those 60 years of age and over
All those 55 years of age and over
All those 50 years of age and over

Reason of difference is: it is not state vaccination. It is city's vaccination - Moscow own few pharma-companies and huge network of clinics (over 750) + network of hospitals.

State's vaccination will starts from January. Here almost not exists care homes for older - they are living in own homes and social workers visits them at homes, it is free service. The only elders who are living in care homes - these who can't walk themself. All elders are under patronage of Ministry of social protection and care and this ministry will provide vaccination program for them.

It's still reverse priorities.One country starts by vaccinating the most vulnerable, the other starts with the most healthy and least vulnerable.

No. Here are different competences. People after 60 are in competence of Ministry of social care, city not responsible for them anymore, money for to care about them are going via state channel, not from city anymore. So city can't offer to older people vaccination - it is outside of city budget and if city will do - it will break law.

So regionals usually are faster, federals usually are slower. I think if even they will start vaccination in January - it will be for sure at last days of January.
