“Two months ago, when we were actively promoting this vaccine, in general there were almost 90% skeptics.
And in order to give tone to my colleagues, to be sure myself that a window of opportunity has opened up in this situation, that we have a good domestic vaccine in Russia, I made a decision, colleagues from the institute allowed me to do this, and I passed , as they say, almost half of the entire big stage.
I feel fine.
God grant that it will continue and so on, ”he said.
Putin asked him a clarifying question whether Sobyanin's temperature had risen.
“No, Vladimir Vladimirovich.

The only thing was a slight headache ... but this is within the same limits as when we feel when we are vaccinated against the flu, "Sobyanin said.
Earlier it became known that the head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade Denis Manturov, Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin and the leader of the Liberal Democratic Party Vladimir Zhirinovsky made themselves vaccinated against COVID-19.
