“We learned about the coronavirus from TV, and most of the sick people were in cities and towns,” said Ivan Khudi, a reindeer herder. Medical buses with doctors and nurses move along the highway, stopping at opportune points to vaccinate willing herders. In late February, a vaccination point was set up not far from Khudi’s camp. In an area next to the vaccination point, a paediatrician was examining children. Every March since then, reindeer and people in Yamal are vaccinated against the disease.
