Buenos Aires, March 9 (NA) – The Ministry of Health of the Nation will launch the 2026 influenza vaccination campaign nationwide this Wednesday, March 11, starting three weeks earlier than last year due to the advance of the respiratory virus season and the circulation of a new, more transmissible influenza A (H3N2) variant.
