The Ministry of Health of the Republic of Armenia announces that Minister Arsen Torosyan has been vaccinated with the coronavirus vaccine. The latter had been donated to the Republic of Armenia by the Minister of Health of the Russian Federation, Mikhail Murashko.
The Ministry stated that no unexpected post-vaccination reactions have been recorded among those vaccinated, and everyone is feeling well.
The Ministry of Health’s communiqué stated:
“Samples of the ‘Sputnik V’ vaccine against the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) had been given to Armenia as a donation by the Minister of Health of the Russian Federation, Mikhail Murashko.
Taking into account the fact that, although the ‘Sputnik V’ vaccine had met the requirements for vaccine safety and efficacy during clinical trials, it was nevertheless not yet registered at that time, therefore, in order to increase public confidence and avoid possible speculation, the leadership of the Ministry of Health was vaccinated first, headed by Minister Arsen Torosyan. It should be noted that no unexpected post-vaccination reactions have been recorded among those vaccinated, and everyone is feeling well.”
