According to reports, Putin was asked in the "Moscow-Kremlin-Putin" program why he did not take a shot when he was vaccinated, while many leaders of countries took the shot when vaccinated.
Putin replied: "Do we all really need to do it mechanically? Is it necessary to do what some people do? Probably not necessary."
Putin pointed out that he deliberately did not reveal which of the three Russian new crown vaccines he had received, and only his doctor knew this.
He also said that after receiving the new coronavirus vaccination, he did not have a fever, but "it was a little bad the next day" and there was a little pain at the injection site.
On March 23, Putin received the first dose of the new coronavirus vaccine.
Russian President’s Press Secretary Peskov previously stated that Putin will have another injection in three weeks.
