The Ministry of Health reminds that vaccination against COVID-19 is free and recommended for people in risk groups. Vaccinations can be done by your family doctor or at a vaccination point at a medical facility. More than 400,000 doses of the Omicron-specific Comirnaty (Pfizer) vaccine for adults and children are currently available in Ukraine.
Mobile teams from the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention continue to visit remote communities to ensure access to vaccination. Their work schedule can be found at the CDC in your region or on the official social media pages of the institutions.
