Last year, the situation with the flu was quite calm in Armenia, but this year there is an increase in the cases of acute respiratory infections—both among young children and adults, minister of health Anahit Avanesyan told reporters Thursday.

According to her, the school winter breaks have already started, and this will contribute to the stabilization of the respective situation in Armenia.

According to the minister, all polyclinics in the country are provided with this year's vaccine against the flu, and these vaccines are available at mobile vaccination points, too.
