Russian Trade Minister Denis Manturov revealed that he had been injected with the Russian vaccine Sputnik V and felt a slightly higher temperature on the first day, according to Sputnik News Agency.
The Russian minister called the research institute that developed the vaccine daily to report on how he was feeling.
"On the first day, the temperature was slightly higher. On the second day, given that the body uses up a lot of glucose, I could feel it in the back of my head a little. On the third day, I wasn't feeling anything like that. It has been more than two weeks now, and I can report that there have been no changes to my body," Manturov said, as aired on the NTV broadcaster.
On August 11, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the registration of the first Coronavirus vaccine in the world.
The vaccine was created by the Gamaleya Scientific Research Institute of Epidemiology and Microbiology, a medical institute located near Moscow.
The vaccine clinical trials began on June 18. Gridnev had said that the effectiveness of the vaccine will be decided when the population has developed an immunity.
It is worth mentioning that Russia is one of several countries racing to be the first to develop a coronavirus vaccine to halt the pandemic that has so far killed at least 727,288 people worldwide.
