    VRF BEGINS CHILDREN IMMUNIZATION PROGRAM IN ARMENIA

    YEREVAN, MARCH 1, ARMENPRESS: The Washington-based
    Vishnevskaya-Rostropovich Foundation (VRF), founded in 1991 by
    Mstislav Rostropovich, the world-renowned cellist, and his wife, the
    acclaimed soprano Galina Vishnevskaya, has pledged 50,000 dozes of
    vaccine for mass vaccination of Armenian children against measles,
    rubella and mumps and 40,000 disposable syringes as part of its
    mission to improve the health care of children in the Russian
    Federation and other Newly Independent States (NIS) of the former
    Soviet Union through sustainable public health programs that focus on
    prevention.
    The agreement was signed today in Yerevan by Armenian health
    minister Norayr Davidian and VRF executive director Bill Amoss. The
    vaccination will cover children between 1 and 6 year old. The gift
    will satisfy half of the demand, the rest is to come from the UNICEF.
