Armenia receives samples of Russian COVID-19 vaccine Sputnik V – Health Ministry

Moscow, Nov 21 (Sputnik) Russian Health Minister Mikhail Murashko has arrived in the capital of Yerevan and delivered the samples of the Russian COVID-19 Vaccine Sputnik V to Armenian Health Minister Arsen Torosyan, the press service of the Russian Health Ministry said on Saturday.
