You can get vaccinated at the clinic at your place of residence. This epidemic season it is planned to vaccinate 552.2 thousand people (61% of the population) against influenza.
According to the press service of Rospotrebnadzor, as of October 12, 146,957 people were vaccinated in the Tomsk region, including 44,599 children.
“As a result, 16.2% of Tomsk residents and residents of the region were vaccinated. Epidemiologists of the Rospotrebnadzor department for the Tomsk region note the low rate of vaccination in the region.

In four districts of the region, the vaccination plan has been completed by almost 50%. These are Kolpashevsky, Teguldetsky, Kozhevnikovsky and Pervomaisky districts.
