During visits to the COVID-19 units at Muratsan University Complex and Arabkir Medical Complex, we recorded the fact that the number of hospitalizations of children has grown due to the Delta strain of COVID-19. This is what Minister of Health of Armenia Anahit Avanesyan wrote on her Facebook page, adding the following:
“I urge everyone to get vaccinated since vaccination against COVID-19 serves as a protective shield for our children.
Upon parents’ consent, children from the age of 12 can get vaccinated against the coronavirus with the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine.”
