Russian President Vladimir Putin said that he did not support the mandatory vaccination against coronavirus, and was against this measure before. The Russian leader said this at a large press conference on June 30. He also revealed for the first time than he was given himself, Interfax writes.
The head of the Russian state referred to the 1998 Law, which provides for a mandatory vaccination against a number of diseases in accordance with the national calendar.
Putin admitted that he was given “satellite V”. According to him, he was asked not to call the drug chosen by him, so as not to cause an unnecessary excitement around him, but he decided to tell about it taking into account the incoming issues.
The Russian leader also noted that all four Russian vaccines are good and do not have such side effects.
