For the new epidemic season, Ukraine is expected to receive beyond 400 000 influenza vaccines.
We are talking about the same volumes that typically entered the country before supply problems last year.
This was stated in a conversation with LB.ua by Health Minister Viktor Liashko.
“We are already awaiting the first deliveries for laboratory control, to say: ‘Here is a vaccine, let’s vaccinate,’” the minister said.
Additionally, according to him, the Ministry of Health is working with an international organization that in the last three years supplied Ukraine 20 000 - 30 000 doses of influenza vaccine as humanitarian aid. Its priority allocations went to Security and Defense Forces, and to medical workers.
“This year they also promise, but it is still a promise. We do not yet have official confirmation, so we have some alternative options for how to work with medical personnel and servicemen,” the minister added.
Full interview with the minister will be available very soon, the video will be accessible on our medical-social channel ‘Just Ask Me’
