“I would ask you to tell my colleagues what you recently told me about the need to achieve the required level of vaccination in connection with the fact that if we do not do this by a certain date, then we will be late with revaccination,” Putin said.
The President added that in this case, many of the efforts already made may go down the drain.
Putin noted that he would like Russian citizens to hear this.
Earlier, the director of the Gamaleya Center, Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Alexander Gintsburg spoke about the need to make vaccination against COVID-19 mandatory in Russia.
The Kremlin said that no decisions on the introduction of compulsory vaccination against coronavirus in Russia were made at the federal level.
