The Romanian Ministry of Health will distribute over 350,000 doses of flu vaccine to pharmacies across the country starting next week.
The initial shipment of injectable vaccines from September was largely used, leaving only around 45,000 doses available in some pharmacies. The National Agency of Medicines and Medical Devices worked with three manufacturers to secure a second delivery. Romania authorized four flu vaccines for the 2026-2027 season, distributing initial quantities in September.
Nasal spray vaccines for children and adolescents, and vaccines for people over 60, are currently well-stocked. Romania received a larger vaccine allocation this year than last, aiming to vaccinate anyone who wants protection from the flu. As of October 11th, 256,000 people in Romania had already received a flu vaccine. Another 250,000 doses of injectable vaccine will become available by the end of October.
