MOSCOW, November 12. /TASS/. Russian President Vladimir Putin has a high level of antibodies following his COVID-19 vaccination, so the head of state will get revaccinated according to doctors’ recommendations, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Friday.

"The president has repeatedly said that he has a high level [of antibodies] after his primary vaccination," Peskov recalled.
