677,032 Covid vaccine doses administered in Armenia

A total of 677,032 doses of the coronavirus vaccine have been administered in Armenia since the beginning of the vaccination program in the country, the Ministry of Health said on Monday, October 18. 466,785 people have only received the first dose of the vaccine, while 210,247 people have received both.

Armenia is currently using AstraZeneca, Sputnik-V, Moderna, SinoPharm 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. Beginning from July 15, however, travelers will need to spend 10 days in the country to become eligible for the shots.
