Doctor of Medical Sciences Iryna Kolesnikova says vaccination against COVID-19 will show its effectiveness in April-June, as reported by the RBC Ukraine news agency.

Experts say Ukrainians will be undergoing vaccination from mid-2021 to the end of the year.

"I think that vaccines will work, and the viral infection will go on decline starting 2022," Academician Serhiy Komisarenko said.

At the same time, other scholars don't rule out a more realistic scenario, namely if Ukraine receives the vaccine only in the third quarter of 2021.
