Armenia: 131,080 Covid vaccine doses administered so far

A total of 131080 doses of the coronavirus vaccine have been administered in Armenia since the beginning of the vaccination program in the country in mid-April, the Ministry of Health said on Monday, July 19.

Armenia is currently using AstraZeneca, Sputnik-V and CoronaVac vaccines to inoculate people aged above 18. The vaccination program rolled out across the country in mid-April, with health authorities also setting up mobile vaccination facilities near shopping malls and on major streets in Yerevan, the capital of Armenia.

Foreigners currently residing in Armenia and tourists too can receive the jabs free of charge. Travelers, however, will need to spend 10 days in the country to become eligible for the shots.

The nationwide quarantine regime has been extended by six months until December 20, according to a government decision approved on July 10.
