World Flu Prevention Day is observed in Romania on October 30, highlighting the importance of vaccination against influenza. The Ministry of Health emphasizes vaccination for high-risk groups, including children, pregnant women, seniors, and healthcare workers. Vaccines are fully compensated for these groups, while those aged 45-65 without chronic conditions receive a 50% subsidy. Vaccination should occur before flu season peaks, as it takes about two weeks for immunity to develop. In addition to vaccination, hygiene practices like handwashing and avoiding close contact with sick individuals are recommended to reduce flu risk.
