Vaccine shipment arrives in Nizhny Novgorod region for distribution against flu outbreak
In the heart of Russia, the city of Nizhny Novgorod is gearing up for the upcoming flu season. According to Alexei Nikonov, the chief editor of IA "Station-press", clinics in the region have received the flu vaccines for the 2025/2026 season.
The second-third week of September is traditionally a crucial period for potential respiratory infections in the Nizhny Novgorod region. This year, the anticipated return of children to organized groups is a significant factor in the expected rise of respiratory infections. Many clinics in the region will be ready to vaccinate the population starting from Thursday.
The regional Ministry of Health has purchased vaccines named FluM and Sovigripp for the flu vaccination season. These vaccines, which are commonly used in Russia, are expected to help combat the anticipated increase in respiratory infections. Additional deliveries of anti-flu vaccine are also expected in the region.
The flu vaccines have been delivered to clinics in the Nizhny Novgorod region for the 2025/2026 season. However, without official announcements or documentation from the regional health authorities, the exact delivery timeline, quantities, or changes in vaccine types cannot be confirmed.
For precise and updated details on the 2025/2026 flu vaccination campaign in Nizhny Novgorod, consult official regional health department communications or government health portals closer to or during the vaccination season.
As the flu season approaches, it is crucial for the public to stay vigilant and take necessary precautions to protect themselves and others from respiratory infections. This includes getting vaccinated, practicing good hygiene, and following public health guidelines.
