Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that vaccination against the coronavirus, as well as a second vaccination-revaccination-is “inevitable.” This is reported by RBC.

Peskov was also asked whether President Vladimir Putin knows that many Russians do not understand the mechanism of revaccination, and that the antibody test, according to which the decision on a new vaccination is made, is paid.

“Of course, the figures on vaccination and nuances are also reported, ” Peskov said.

He stressed that the position of the head of state on revaccination is “not important”, since the opinion of doctors and drug manufacturers is important.

As for the tests, “there is no talk about making this pleasure free.”

Earlier, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said that repeated cases of COVID-19 infection are being recorded in the capital, including among vaccinated citizens. According to him, this is due to the emergence of new strains.

According to the journalist, in Geneva, Joe Biden tried to demonstrate the superiority of the West…. At the same time, Vladimir Putin acted as a confident leader, demonstrating a position on equal terms.
