President Vladimir Putin has told Recep Tayyip Erdogan he should use Russia's Sputnik for his next booster jab and boasted of high antibody levels as he hosted the Turkish leader for talks.
In a warm exchange after three hours of talks at Putin's residence in the resort city of Sochi, Putin said he had recently spent an entire day with an infected aide but had not contracted the coronavirus.
“I have high levels of antibodies, thank God I got lucky,” Putin told Erdogan in his palm tree-lined residence.
“So next time you get vaccinated again (use) Sputnik,” Putin said, according to an AFP report.
