希腊启动今冬流感疫苗接种季：364万剂疫苗陆续抵达药房
2026年10月2日，希腊启动本年度季节性流感疫苗接种季。希腊全境药房协会秘书长马诺利斯·卡萨拉基斯确认，今年进口疫苗总量预计约364万剂，高于上一季的350万剂，其中约三成已经分发到全国各药房，接种季开始时供应充足、品类多样。
希腊经药房渠道接种的流感疫苗数量连年上升：2023至2024季约140万剂，2024至2025季约192万剂，2025至2026季达到约204万剂。卫生部门希望这一势头延续，以降低季节性病毒传播、保护并发症高风险人群。
今年另有约46万剂加强型疫苗进口，这类疫苗能为老年人与器官衰竭患者提供更强的免疫反应。药剂师界同时提醒，65岁以上人群若遇不到加强型疫苗，不应推迟接种，使用任何现有的常规疫苗即可。
流感季是希腊每年公共卫生的固定考题。今年的疫苗总量较去年增加，接种渠道仍以社区药房为主。卫生部门与药房协会将根据接种进度调配后续供应，接种通过全国各地的社区药房进行。
Greece Opens Flu Vaccination Season with 3.64 Million Doses
Greece launched this year's seasonal influenza vaccination campaign on 2 October 2026. Manolis Katsarakis, secretary-general of the Panhellenic Pharmaceutical Association, confirmed that total vaccine imports for the year are expected to reach approximately 3.64 million doses, up from 3.5 million last season, with about 30 percent of the allocated vaccines already distributed to pharmacies across the country as the campaign began.
Influenza vaccination through pharmacies in Greece has grown steadily: approximately 1.4 million doses were administered via pharmacies in the 2023-24 season, rising to 1.92 million in 2024-25 and 2.04 million in 2025-26. Health authorities hope the trend continues, to curb the spread of the seasonal virus and protect those at highest risk of complications.
About 460,000 doses of enhanced vaccines, which provide a stronger immune response in the elderly and those with organ failure, have also been imported this year. Pharmacists advise that if the enhanced vaccine is unavailable, people over 65 should not delay vaccination but use any available conventional vaccine instead.
The flu season is a fixed item on Greece's public health calendar each year. With total doses up on last season and community pharmacies remaining the main channel, the health ministry and the pharmacists' association will adjust later deliveries to the pace of uptake. Vaccination is delivered through community pharmacies across the country.
