How to get a flu shot at a pharmacy

In Ukraine, a new mechanism of preventive vaccination against influenza has been implemented, which allows pharmacy workers to carry out vaccinations. This was reported by the press center of the Ministry of Health (MoH). This initiative is aimed at increasing the availability of vaccination and reducing the incidence of influenza.

The Ministry of Health noted that in order for pharmacies to carry out vaccination, they must meet a number of requirements. Among them are the availability of a license for medical practice, the necessary material and technical support, a separately equipped room for vaccination and a waiting area for patients.

Currently, there is only one pharmacy in Kyiv, at the address of st. Velyka Vasylkivska, 84/20, fully meets these criteria and has the right to provide vaccination services. The number of licensed vaccination pharmacies is expected to increase over time.

An important aspect is that not all pharmacy workers can vaccinate. This is allowed only to pharmacists who have undergone special training organized by specialists of the World Health Organization (WHO) in September 2024.

To get a flu shot at a pharmacy, you need to follow the following algorithm:

  1. Get a vaccine prescription from your family doctor.
  2. Contact a pharmacy that has a vaccination license.
  3. Buy the vaccine at the pharmacy at your own expense.
  4. Fill out the consent for vaccination.
  5. Get vaccinated.
  6. Wait 30 minutes after vaccination for observation.
  7. Get a vaccination certificate and give it to your family doctor.

The Ministry of Health recommends vaccination in the period from September to October, so that the body has time to develop immunity before the season of increased incidence of influenza. However, vaccination can be done later, depending on individual needs.

Since the beginning of October, vaccines of French and Korean production, which have passed state quality control, are available in Ukrainian pharmacies.
