While the exact distribution of Sputnik V and QazVac vaccines in Kazakhstan by region can't be found, it's critical to note that dog rabies remains endemic, with only about 21.10% dog vaccination coverage annually. Regional awareness levels of rabies may impact disease control and vaccination attitudes [4]. Additionally, a poultry vaccination program against Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) has been underway, with outbreaks occurring in various regions [5]. As for COVID-19 vaccination statistics, specifics on the regional distribution might require consulting Kazakhstan's Ministry of Health or relevant health organizations partaking in the national vaccination program.
