2024 Flu Vaccination 💉| Timing, Price, and Free Eligibility!

Did you know that the 2024 flu vaccination campaign started on September 20th?

The flu is a disease that outbreaks every winter, so it is important to reduce the risk of infection through vaccination!

In this article, I will provide information about the timing, cost, and eligibility for free flu vaccinations.

 

 

Vaccination timing

 

Flu vaccinations are available from September 20, 2024, to April 30, 2025.

Since it takes about two weeks to develop immunity, we recommend completing the vaccination by the end of October, before the flu season begins!

We especially recommend that those in high-risk groups receive the vaccination as soon as possible~

 

 

Eligible recipients for free vaccination

 

Free vaccination targets are children aged 6 months to under 13 years, pregnant women, and seniors aged 65 and older.

In addition, high-risk patients and healthcare workers can also receive free vaccinations.

Free vaccination recipients can receive their shots at public health centers or designated medical institutions, so please check in advance and visit accordingly!

 

 

Vaccination cost 

 

For the general public, the cost of flu vaccination varies by hospital, but it is usually around 30,000 to 50,000 won.

Since costs may vary by hospital, please check in advance before visiting^^

The cost may vary depending on whether it is covered by health insurance.

Since some hospitals offer additional discount benefits, there is no fixed cost.

 

Vaccination sites 

 

Flu vaccinations are available at health centers and designated hospitals nationwide.
