The [Austrian Ministry of Health](<https://austriareport.com/entity/ministry-of-social-affairs-health-care-and-consumer-protection-q1006368>) has secured 100,000 additional doses of the **Flucelvax** influenza vaccine on the international market. As of Friday, October 9, 2026, the supply is being transported by truck, with deliveries scheduled to begin next week.

These doses are expected to reach pediatricians and gynecologists by late October. This move follows a delay for 868,000 Influvac doses now expected in November. Flucelvax is cell-culture based and EU-approved for adults and children aged six months and up.
