Vladimir Putin said in televised comments that he had been re-inoculated six months after his initial dose.
Russia said on Wednesday it planned to export a nasal form of its Sputnik vaccine against COVID-19, which President Vladimir Putin said he had taken as a booster.
Putin said in televised comments that he had been re-inoculated six months after his initial dose of the Sputnik V vaccine because his antibody levels had dropped.
He said the booster took the form of an injection, followed the next day by a powder sprayed into both nostrils - though the Kremlin later clarified that the spray was in fact a liquid, not a powder.
"That was all - I didn't feel anything. Nothing. Today, after these two procedures, I already did some sport in the morning," Putin said.
