The type A H1pdm09 subtype of the seasonal flu continues to circulate in Armenia.

The Ministry of Health informs that in this context, the vaccinations against seasonal flu are especially important, considering that the aforementioned type of flu is included in the quadrivalent vaccine against seasonal flu available in Armenia.

These vaccinations are administered on a voluntary basis, regardless of registration and citizenship in Armenia, within the framework of state funding—but giving priority to persons in risk groups in whom this illness may be severe or cause complications.

Pregnant women, children from 6 months to 5 years old, people over 65 years old, people with diabetes, chronic diseases of the respiratory system, cardiovascular system, liver and kidneys, health workers, people in closed-space organizations, service personnel, and people subject to military service are the risk groups for flu vaccinations.

Vaccinations against seasonal flu will be available also for the other groups of the population in Armenia, they can be administered together with other vaccinations or at any interval, and people included in risk groups can go to the polyclinics and get vaccinated.
