“I don’t know that there were any volunteers in the administration who participated in clinical vaccine testing programs,” a Kremlin spokesman told reporters.
Peskov noted that he himself did not need the vaccine, because he had been ill with the coronavirus.
According to him, he only heard that the head of the RDIF Kirill Dmitriev tested one of the drugs on himself.
Earlier, Bloomberg wrote, citing sources, that top managers of Russian companies, large businessmen and officials allegedly in April got access to an experimental vaccine developed by the Gamalei Center.
The Ministry of Health later reported that the vaccine was not released into civilian circulation and its use is possible only in the framework of clinical trials.
