The Israeli military's Medical Corps has launched its annual flu vaccination campaign for soldiers ahead of the winter season. Approximately 65,000 doses of the vaccine, along with necessary medical equipment, have been procured for this initiative. The vaccinations are intended for both conscripted and career service members and are being distributed to military units in two phases. The campaign is scheduled to run until February 28, 2027, with soldiers able to receive the shot at most military medical facilities nationwide without prior appointment. Special attention is being given to soldiers identified as being in high-risk groups. While vaccination is voluntary, medical personnel strongly recommend it due to the annual mutation of flu viruses. The campaign aims to reduce illness rates within the ranks and ensure the army's operational continuity.
