Putin demanded that the government get vaccinated Russian President Vladimir Putin, during a meeting with members of the government, said that everyone should get vaccinated against the flu. He mentioned this to the Minister of Health Mikhail Murshko. "It is necessary that the members of the government also get vaccinated and get vaccinated. I say this without any irony, seriously," the Kremlin website quotes Putin as saying. Morshko emphasized that he himself is vaccinated, but the government cannot be responsible for all the members. "We asked Moscow, they organized direct visits to all federal authorities this year in order to carry out vaccinations. Therefore, the health services of Moscow, the clinic units joined it, as well as the presidential administration," the minister said. Murshko "evaded" the answer, says Putin, who also claims that he himself is "immune": "It's fine - the Russian vaccine works perfectly. About two weeks ago, probably." Putin did not say which vaccine he received, Kommersant noted. The journalist of the publication Andrey Kolesnikov also noted that at the first aid station of the presidential administration itself they recently refused to give him a vaccine: "At the medical center of the presidential administration in Old Square, in response to my request to receive a flu vaccine, when I was there with the noble purpose of doing a PCR test, two days ago they said that first of all the time for vaccinations had passed, because a wave of morbidity had already started, and the vaccine had to be given time to take root in the body and secondly, he was not there for the entire vaccine. In general, everything is unnecessary."
