Despite signs of recovery, routine vaccination coverage remained lower than before the pandemic for children two and six years old. The interventions by the Ministry of Health and National Centers for Disease Control and Prevention may have helped recover some lost vaccination levels. Yet, there remain ongoing challenges to routine vaccinations. This study highlights the importance of assessing coverage and timeliness of routine vaccinations and the need for targeted strategies to address lapses in vaccinations, particularly among older children, in Armenia
