Из 100 поступивших в медучреждение Конгаза доз вакцины 63 были предназначены непосредственно для жителей Конгаза, по 15 доз – для сел Котовское и Светлый, и всего 7 доз получили жители села Русская Киселия. Низкие темпы вакцинации вызваны желанием населения прививаться вакциной российского производства «Спутник V», а ее крайне не хватает.
