Influenza vaccines become available in pharmacies

Influenza vaccines for the 2026-2027 season are now available in pharmacies. Medical professionals report that the first positive flu cases have already emerged, coinciding with the start of the school year and fluctuating temperatures.

Various vaccine options are available, including a nasal spray for children aged 2 to 18 and injectable versions for those aged 6 months and older. A high-dose formula is also available for the elderly.

Compensation for the vaccine depends on specific health criteria. Children and adolescents up to 18, pregnant women, individuals over 65, medical staff, and those with certain chronic conditions are eligible for 100% compensation. For individuals between 45 and 65 without chronic illnesses, the compensation rate is 50%.
