The Executive Director of the National Program for Immunizations in Tripoli, Sadiq Bhailel, has declared that the number of doses that have been distributed since the start of the vaccination campaign against seasonal influenza on the 18th of this month amounted to one million ones throughout Libya.

Bhailel said in a statement posted on the official Facebook page of the Ministry of Health that the campaign will continue for two weeks and can be extended, adding that the dose reduces chances of catching the flu to those with a less functioning immune system and is completely safe.

He advised all those who could be affected to take the vaccination.
