vaccination programme
The Armenian Ministry of Health is planning to vaccinate 700,000 thousand people, and the priority is given to the high-risk groups. However, vaccination in Armenia is voluntary, and so far only 600 people have registered to get vaccinated.
The issue of vaccination remains highly relevant in Armenia as the country is struggling to counter the spread of COVID-19, says Armenian Minister of Health, Anahit Avanesyan:
“For many patients, the disease is very severe. […] Vaccination will be carried out, firstly, on applications from high-risk groups, and the medical personnel of the country;s clinics will be asked to inform individuals of their eligibility for vaccination. If there are more registered citizens than vaccine doses, the registration will continue, and as new supplies are received, the vaccination will continue for a year”.
