60,700 Moderna shots donated by Slovakia arrive in Armenia

60,700 doses of the Moderna vaccine donated by Slovakia arrived in Armenia on Tuesday, November 9, the Ministry of Health reports.

The shots will soon be available for inoculation shortly.

Armenia is currently using AstraZeneca, Sputnik-V, Moderna, SinoPharm and CoronaVac vaccines to inoculate people aged above 18 and Moderna for minors aged 12-18. The vaccination program rolled out across the country in mid-April, with health authorities also setting up mobile vaccination facilities near shopping malls and on major streets in Yerevan, the capital of Armenia.

The country recently bought a fresh batch of 400,000 doses of the Chinese Sihopharm vaccine, while Norway donated more than 600,000 Moderna shots.
