Putin was revaccinated against coronavirus

Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that he had been revaccinated against coronavirus with Sputnik Light, Interfax reports.

The President spoke about this at a meeting with Deputy Director of the Gamaleya Institute Denis Logunov. “Today, on your recommendation, on the recommendation of your colleagues, I gave myself another vaccination with Sputnik-Light, this is already called revaccination,” Putin said.

The President also said at the meeting that he wants to take part in testing the nasal form of the Sputnik V vaccine.

Seven months have passed since Putin's last vaccination - he completed the full course of vaccination in April. Initially, the President did not disclose what drug he had taken, but a few months later he said that it was Sputnik V.

• Sputnik Light is the only drug registered in Russia that requires only one injection for vaccination. It is the first component of the Sputnik V two-component vaccine. The Ministry of Health of Russia announced that Sputnik Light will be used in Russia only for re-vaccination.
