Demand for flu vaccines at Latvian family doctors' practices exceeds supply

Demand for influenza vaccines at family doctors' practices in Latvia currently exceeds supply. In other words, more people want to be vaccinated than there are vaccines available at the practices.

The situation was described to the news agency LETA in October 2026 by Alise Nicmane-Aišpure, head of the Latvian Association of Family Doctors (LĢĀA), which represents family doctors across the country.

The information released gives no figures on vaccine quantities. It also does not say when, or how many, additional doses might be delivered to the practices. It is therefore unclear how long the shortage may last.
