Let us remind you that in order to create collective immunity in 2023 in Crimea, it is planned to vaccinate 1,092,000 people against influenza, of which 811,494 adults and 280,506 children.

You can get immunized at the nearest clinic; the addresses of vaccination points are available on the website of the Crimean Ministry of Health. Mobile vaccination points operate in Simferopol, Yevpatoriya and Dzhankoy.

For organized vaccination of work collectives at their workplaces, heads of organizations or enterprises should contact the administration of the nearest clinic to make a preliminary agreement on the date of departure of the mobile team of medical workers.

We urge Crimeans not to delay going to a medical organization and protect their health through immunization.
