ArmInfo. No cent was spent from Armenia's state budget for Tamiflu
medicine and "swine flu" vaccine, chief infectiologist of Armenia
Ara Asoyan said at today's press-conference.
He recalled that the republic received big lots of Tamiflu as
assistance. As for the vaccine, the state has not yet acquired it. "We
shall import it in autumn, if necessary", Asoyan said. When touching on
the scandal around the "swine flu" where WHO has become the main target
of international structures, since it announced about H1N1 pandemic,
the chief infectiologist said: "There is no doubt that this disease
exists. My team and me had a chance to assure ourselves of it when
the swine flu reached Armenia".
To recall, the first case of "swine flu" was found in Armenia on
November 10, 2009. Moreover, a citizen of Iran was the first virus
carrier in the republic. As a preventive measure, a decision was made
to close schools and kindergartens from December 8. Schools started
working on January 11, 2010 and kindergartens - on February 1.
