Because of power outages in Ukraine, there may be problems with access to vaccines, which could prevent some patients from getting vaccinated. This was stated by Ukrainian pediatrician Yevhen Komarovskyi in the program "Superposition".
“Last year more than half of my patients could not get the influenza vaccine due to a lack of the drugs. This year, considering logistical difficulties and deliveries to pharmaceutical warehouses, I doubt we will see this vaccine,” said the doctor.
As Komarovskyi noted, vaccines require special storage conditions—in a refrigerator with access to electricity. He noted that the state does not purchase such drugs, so the risks are borne by the supplier.
“Therefore I am inclined to think that there will be problems with vaccines. And this is business logic, most likely, that’s what he says,” he stressed.
10 October, the Ministry of Health explained why there is still no influenza vaccine in Ukrainian pharmacies.
1 December 2025 year, the Ministry of Health updated the vaccination calendar from 2026 year.
