Armenian Minister of Health Anahit Avanesian told reporters today that people not included in the coronavirus risk group (seniors, medical workers, etc.) will have to pay to get the Covid-19 vaccine.

Last month, Gayaneh Sahakian, Deputy Director General of the National Center for Disease Control and Prevention in Armenia said that the government plans to purchase enough vaccine for ten percent of the population and that only those in the “risk group” would get it.
