Armenia to add varicella vaccine to National Immunization Schedule

 11:27, 6 November 2023

YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 6, ARMENPRESS. Armenian health authorities plan to add the varicella vaccine in the National Immunization Schedule, Minister of Healthcare Anahit Avanesyan has said.

Avanesyan briefed lawmakers at a parliamentary committee hearing Monday that the 2024 state budget envisages a 16,4% increase for the National Immunization Schedule.

“Thanks to this we will be able to introduce the use of the varicella (chickenpox) vaccine in our country,” Avanesyan said, adding that the vaccination will contribute to keeping people healthy and protected from the highly contagious disease.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
