First flu vaccines in Latvia expected by end of September

Latvia's National Health Service says the first influenza vaccines for this season should become available to residents by 30 September.

The National Health Service (NVD) has announced that the first influenza vaccines for the current season are expected to reach Latvia and become available to residents by 30 September.

The announcement signals the start of the upcoming seasonal vaccination campaign, with the agency encouraging residents to watch for updates on vaccine availability at medical facilities and family doctor practices.

Flu vaccination campaigns are typically organized annually ahead of the autumn and winter season, when respiratory infections tend to spread more widely. Further details on the rollout and availability at individual facilities are expected from the NVD and other responsible institutions.
