Russia planned to donate to Armenia 150,000 doses of its coronavirus vaccine, which would make it possible to vaccinate 75,000 people free of charge - whether health workers or teachers, neurosurgeon Marina Khachatryan told reporters.

According to her, today there are several COVID-19 vaccines including Moderna, Pfizer, AstraZeneca, as well as the Russian vaccine. There is also a Chinese one, which Georgia imports.

She also noted that the Russian vaccine has not yet been registered in Armenia, although Russia was going to donate 150,000 doses of this vaccine to Armenia, which would be enough for free vaccination of 75,000 people.

Meanwhile, 3% of the country's population will have to receive the vaccine from AstraZeneca.
