More than 800 children in the Kirov region have been vaccinated against the flu.

      A vaccination campaign against influenza has begun in Kirov Oblast. The first batch of the Sovigripp vaccine, totaling more than 73,000 doses, was distributed to medical institutions in the region and is already being used to immunize children.

      So far, 823 children aged from six months to 18 years have been vaccinated. Medical workers note that now is the most suitable time for vaccination, since immune protection will have time to form before the start of the seasonal rise in illness.

      The procedure is being carried out in all pediatric clinics, and in September vaccinations will also be available in schools. According to the Ministry of Health, there is a sufficient supply of the pediatric vaccine in the region. A shipment of vaccine for the adult population is expected next week.
