In 2001, the year before Vaccine Fund Support began, Armenia spent $1.0 million to deliver routine immunization services. The programme-specific spending on routine immunization service equated to about $35.4 per DTP3 vaccinated child or $0.32 per capita. Spending on routine immunization rose in 2002 to $1.1 million, an increase of 15%, due to the increased expenditures on new and underused vaccines into the programme.
