After the second injection her temperature went up slightly, then back to normal.\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cIt is rare for President Putin to talk publicly about his daughters \u2014 named Maria Vorontsova and Katerina Tikhonova in media reports \u2014 and their lives have been shrouded in secrecy,\u201d the BBC noted.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>In its latest report, the BBC wrote that \u201cMr Putin, who is 68 years old, initially claimed he was waiting until it had been deemed safe for the over-65s. Later he said he\u2019d wait for autumn when his doctors could fit the COVID shot in his \u2018vaccine schedule.\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>According to the BBC, \u201cMr Putin also told a gathering of Russian news editors that he wouldn\u2019t be a \u2018performing monkey\u2019 and get vaccinated before the TV cameras, surprising many with his sudden camera-shyness.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The Sputnik V vaccine was the first to be approved in Russia, and was \u201cdeveloped and produced entirely domestically.\u201d According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmj.com\/content\/372\/bmj.n743\">BMJ<\/a>, interim results \u201c<\/span><span>indicate that the vaccine is 91.6% effective, based on its ability to prevent symptomatic infection. There were no cases of moderate or severe covid-19 in the vaccinated group at least 21 days following the first dose. Some 94% of reported side effects were very mild (grade 1). Four deaths recorded during the study were found not to be related to the vaccine.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
