YEREVAN. – A total of 111 thousand people have been vaccinated against the coronavirus so far in Armenia. Acting Minister of Health Anahit Avanesyan told about this to reporters on Thursday.

She reminded that after the vaccination, people can download the smartphone app which will contain information about the respective vaccination of the person. According to her, detailed information is available on the website of the Armenian Ministry of Health. "If the app can’t be used, people can get a paper version at the polyclinic.
