The campaign, which begins on Monday, October 5, 2026, will prioritize vaccination for individuals aged 60 and over, as well as children from 6 months to 7 years old. Subsequently, starting from Monday, October 19, 2026, vaccination will be available to the rest of the population indicated for it.
Vaccination is recommended for various groups, including those aged 60 and over, children from 6 months to 7 years, pregnant women, and individuals aged 8 and over with chronic illnesses. Healthcare personnel are also among the priority groups.
The annual vaccine is considered the most effective way to prevent influenza and its potential complications, such as hospitalizations or severe cases. It is also associated with lower cardiovascular mortality and a reduced risk of heart attack. In pregnant women, the flu can increase the risk of miscarriage and premature birth, while in individuals with chronic diseases, it can destabilize their underlying condition.
