Flu vaccine demand in Latvia exceeds supply as production is delayed in Europe

Demand for flu vaccines at family doctors' practices in Latvia currently outstrips supply. This was acknowledged by Alise Nicmane-Aišpure, head of the Latvian Association of Family Doctors (LĢĀA).

As a result, availability of vaccines for residents who want to be immunised against seasonal influenza is limited at the moment. The situation is linked to a delay in the production of flu vaccines in Europe.

The source gives no further details on how many doses are lacking, when the next deliveries are expected or how long the delay may last.
