Delays in Flu Vaccination for Public and Private Pharmacies

October 10, 2026

The situation regarding flu vaccinations has led to problems, with 110,000 doses of the vaccine delayed and new orders expected. This delay affects not only private pharmacies but also the public vaccination program. Production processes in the European market have encountered difficulties, mainly due to the need to modify the virus strains according to the recommendations of the World Health Organization. Some production facilities have also faced manufacturing issues. Delays may continue, primarily affecting conventional vaccines, while high-dose vaccines appear to be available normally.
