Public Radio of Armenia







Armenia will purchase 1 million doses of Covid-19 vaccine from the
Russian Federation, acting Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said at the
government sitting today. He added that a relevant agreement is in
place.

“Negotiations are underway to import large quantities of vaccine to
Armenia from other partners,” Pashinyan said.

Acting Minister of Health Anahit Avanesyan said, in turn, that
citizens can register at their preferred polyclinic to receive the
vaccine. Starting next week, there will be mobile teams stationed in
busy parts of Yerevan. She said the vaccine will be available for
every citizen over 18 years of age.

“Vaccination 100% protects against the severe, extremely severe course
of the disease. The risk of side effect from the vaccine is almost
zero if we compare it to Covid, which results in serious damage to
health and, unfortunately, death,” she said, urging everyone to take
an active part in the process.
