Some Russian teachers fear back-to-school shots of 'Sputnik V' COVID vaccine

A small independent Russian teachers' union is urging members not to be coerced into accepting shots of the "Sputnik V" coronavirus vaccine which is to be mandatory for military personnel. From September, doctors and teachers will be among the first to be offered the jab on a voluntary basis, officials have said, an arrangement President Vladimir Putin has said he supports. Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu has said shots of the vaccine will be made mandatory for military personnel.
