Ministry of Health: Seasonal flu vaccine available to everyone eligible for vaccination

After experiencing the benefits of seasonal flu vaccination, pensioner Dobrilla applies every year to receive the vaccine free of charge.

She says she was able to book an appointment quickly this year and considers vaccination the best way to protect her fragile health.

Dr. Kljuseva notes that the vaccine is offered free of charge to people in high-risk groups. She also explains how to apply for vaccination.

Meanwhile, outpatient visits and hospital admissions among children have increased in the pediatric ward.

In addition to vaccination, people are advised to air indoor spaces regularly and keep them warm, wash their hands often, and avoid crowds and contact with people who are coughing.

Healthy eating, physical activity and reducing stress are also recommended as additional ways to look after your health during flu season.

Interest in seasonal flu vaccination is growing. Vaccination remains one of the main measures for reducing the risk of health complications.

The Ministry of Health says vaccine supplies are sufficient for all citizens who meet the eligibility requirements. Those who have booked an appointment but cannot attend are asked to cancel it so that another interested person can take the slot.
