The Ministry of Health informs that Armenia has acquired the next batch, 200 thousand doses, of Chinese “Sinopharm” vaccine against COVID-19.

The imported batch of the vaccine will soon be available in the primary health care and mobile vaccination points.

The ministry reminds that the Sinopharm vaccine is authorized by the World Health Organization (WHO) for emergency use. Vaccine efficacy and safety data meet WHO standards.

Like other vaccines used in Armenia, Sinopharm is intended for vaccination against coronavirus (COVID-19) in people over 18 years of age.
