YEREVAN. – Eighty thousand people have already been vaccinated against coronavirus in Armenia, no side effects or undesirable consequence have been reported yet, and this proves once again that the vaccinations are a safe and effective way to fight against the pandemic. Acting Minister of Health Anahit Avanesyan on Thursday told about this to reporters.

In her words, the rate of these vaccinations is not satisfactory in the country, but it is increasing day by day, they were decreasing during the pre-election period ahead of the snap parliamentary elections on June 20, but now they seem to be increasing, and recently 3,000 people in the country were vaccinated against COVID-19 in just one day.

The acting minister of health added that the effectiveness of these vaccines depends on their being administered in a short period of time, therefore, it is very important that as many people in Armenia as possible be vaccinated against coronavirus as soon as possible.
