About 50 children in Armenia have already been vaccinated against the coronavirus, minister of health Anahit Avanesyan told reporters Monday.

"The opportunity to vaccinate children [as well against COVID-19] has been created [in the country], and with the written permission of parents, of course, children over 12 can [also] be vaccinated [in Armenia]," she said.

According to her, there is no shortage of any Covid vaccines in Armenia at the moment, and the country currently has all types of these vaccines.

"They are equally effective. At this moment, it is very important not to procrastinate, to get vaccinated as soon as possible," the minister said.

Avanesyan added that the COVID-19 vaccination certificates issued in Armenia are already recognized in EU member states.
