Putin vaccinated against COVID-19

Russian President Vladimir Putin has been vaccinated against Covid-19 and feels well, his press secretary Dmitry Peskov said.

"Putin has got inoculated against the coronavirus infection. He feels well," he said. "Tomorrow, he will have a routine working day."

He did not say however which of the three Russian coronavirus vaccines had been used. The Kremlin spokesman said earlier that the Kremlin had opted not to disclose this information as "all the three Russian vaccines are absolutely reliable and effective," TASS reported.

Putin preferred not to get vaccinated in public, like other foreign leaders did. The Kremlin spokesman explained this decision on Tuesday, saying the president did like the idea of getting vaccinated for camera.
