The supply we had for 2018-2019 is almost used. In the autumn, before the new season, we will purchase 80,000 vaccines,” Gamkrelidze stated amid the spread of acute respiratory illness H1NI in Georgia, which has claimed more than 10 lives this winter.
Flu vaccines cause antibodies to develop in the body about two weeks after the vaccination takes place.
These antibodies provide protection against infection with the viruses that are in the vaccine.

For now, ant-flu vaccines are available only in several medical institutions.
