Kremlin spokesman says Putin not yet vaccinated against coronavirus

Moscow, Jul 20 (Sputnik) Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov commented on Monday on media reports claiming that some Russian officials were vaccinated against coronavirus back in April, noting that Russian President Vladimir Putin was not vaccinated, and it was too early to discuss immunization anyway.
Earlier in the day, Bloomberg reported, citing sources, that members of Russia's "business and political elite" received access to an experimental vaccine, developed by the Gamaleya Scientific Research Institute of Epidemiology and Microbiology, as early as in April. The Russian Health Ministry commented by saying that the vaccine had not yet been introduced into commercial turnover and could be used only in clinical trials.
"No, it has not been certified yet. I believe it is not proper to inject an uncertified vaccine for the head of state," Peskov told reporters, when asked whether Putin was vaccinated.
