Kremlin Won’t Disclose Which Covid-19 Vaccine Putin Will Receive Today



The Kremlin said it will not disclose the name of the Russian-made vaccine which President Vladimir Putin will receive later on Tuesday, as the Russian leader plans to deviate from the norm established by several other world leaders by choosing not to get inoculated in front of a camera.

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said the decision not to disclose the name of the shot was a deliberate one as it believes all three Russian-made vaccines are “absolutely reliable and effective,” Reuters reported.

Peskov confirmed that Putin will get vaccinated on Tuesday evening and would receive one of the three Russian made shots that have been approved for use in the country—Sputnik V, EpiVacCorona or CoviVac.

Peskov also added that Putin did not like the idea of being vaccinated on camera, something several world leaders like U.S. President Joe Biden, U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson, India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have done in an effort to increase public confidence in the vaccines.
