Since the 27th of September, more than 12,000 flu jabs have been administered in the Autonomous Region of Madeira (RAM), and unprecedented demand meant that vaccination centres quickly ran out of the vaccine. However, as of yesterday afternoon (26th of October), Madeira’s Regional Health Service received a further 5,000 flu vaccines, allowing the Health Service to continue their flu vaccination campaign for priority groups.

For the 2021/2022 flu season, the Madeiran government has purchased 68 thousand doses of vaccine, representing an investment of half a million euros.
