Russia has started a Covid-19 vaccination program, with clinics in the capital, Moscow, vaccinating people most at risk from the virus.
Its Sputnik V vaccine, which was registered in August, is being used.
The developers say it's 95% effective and doesn't cause any major side effects, but it's still undergoing mass testing.
Thousands of people have already signed up for the first dose of the two hits over the weekend, but it's unclear how much Russia can make.
Producers are expected to produce only 2 million doses of the vaccine by the end of the year.
Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin, who announced the program earlier in the week, said it was offered to residents of the city of 13 million who work in schools, health services and social workers.
He said the list would grow as more vaccine became available.

The online registration service allows city dwellers in the aforementioned professions between the ages of 18 and 60 to book free appointments at 70 locations across the city.
They will operate from 08:00 to 20:00 local time (05:00 - 17:00 GMT).
People who have received injections in the last 30 days or who have had a respiratory disease within the past two weeks, as well as those with certain chronic diseases, and pregnant and breastfeeding women will be excluded.
Each person will have two injections, in the second 21 days after the first.
"Let everyone get vaccinated"
However, public reactions to the vaccine introduction have been mixed.
"I like it because this is an opportunity to change direction and reduce the rate of infection," Igor Krivobukov, a resident, told Reuters news agency.

But another, Sergey Greshin, said he was not planning to get a jab.
"This process will take a long time. Only a small amount of the vaccine was produced ... Let everyone get the vaccine, and if they want - I will survive," he said.
Russia has so far recorded 2,431,731 cases of the virus, and 42,684 deaths. On Saturday, it reported a daily record of 28,782 new cases.
Hospitals across the country are overwhelmed.
Moscow is the epicenter of the epidemic in Russia, with thousands of cases and dozens of deaths recorded daily. The total number of cases during the past 24 hours was 7,993.
The Russian government has ruled out the lockdown, but in November Sobyanin imposed restrictions in Moscow on the hours of bars and clubs, moved higher education students to distance learning and reduced cultural and sporting events.
