Putin is Vaccinated But the Name of the Vaccine Remains A Secret

Russian President Vladimir Putin will be vaccinated against the coronavirus on Tuesday, but it remains a secret which vaccine he will receive.

The Kremlin only wants to say that it is a drug that was developed in Russia.

Russia has now approved three homegrown vaccines. This includes Sputnik-V, which is also used in other countries.

“We are deliberately not saying which vaccine the president will receive,” said a Kremlin spokesman, noting that “all three Russian vaccines are reliable and effective.”

The 68-year-old Putin will probably be vaccinated on Tuesday evening. Unlike some other world leaders, he probably doesn’t do that in front of the camera.

He didn’t feel like it himself, his spokesperson explained.
