Incredible! Putin said he would be vaccinated today, but "The Kremlin said on Tuesday it had deliberately decided it would not reveal the name of the Russian-made vaccine which President Vladimir Putin is due to take later on Tuesday."

MOSCOW (Reuters) - The Kremlin said on Tuesday it had deliberately decided it would not reveal the name of the Russian-made vaccine which President Vladimir Putin is due to take later on Tuesday.
We are deliberately not saying which shot the president will get, noting that all three Russian (-made) vaccines are absolutely reliable and effective, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.
He said Putin, who announced his intention to get vaccinated a day earlier, would probably be vaccinated in the evening and would receive one of the three Russian-made shots.
Peskov said Putin had already done a lot to promote Russian-made vaccines, the most famous of which is Sputnik V. Moscow has also given emergency approval to two other domestic vaccines, EpiVacCorona and CoviVac.
Peskov said that Putin did not like the idea of being vaccinated on camera.

OP
Likely not taking a Russian vaccine at all, it will be a good vaccine from the west.

I wouldn't doubt if he's already been vaccinated. This is the same kind of bullshit we got with his puppet, Donald.

(22,034 posts)7. This is too simple
Putin is probably getting the Pfizer, Moderna or Johnson & Johnson vaccine. They're keeping it a secret because he's not getting a Russian vaccine. Why would he? It's probably not safe and he doesn't want the Russian people to know that.

I heard it has some pretty awful side effects.
