Pharmacies offering flu vaccination in Romania

Flu vaccination is one of the simplest preventive steps of the cold season. Flu is not just a cold: in older people, people with chronic illnesses (diabetes, heart or lung disease), pregnant women and children it can lead to serious complications. Pharmacies on the Ministry of Health list are authorised to give the flu vaccine. Confirm the service hours before your visit. The Ministry of Health list of 29 October 2026 has 397 locations with active status; 326 appear here — the ones we could match to a specific pharmacy (locality, address and street number).

Who can be vaccinated at a pharmacy. You need a medical recommendation, a previous flu vaccination and an assessment by the pharmacist. For minors, the request is made by the legal representative. For a first vaccination or for a child, talk to your GP or paediatrician first.

Is it free?

The flu vaccine can be reimbursed at 100% of the reference price for children from 6 months up to their 19th birthday, pregnant women, adults aged 19–64 with the conditions listed in the ministerial order, people over 65 and medical, health and auxiliary staff. People aged 45–64 without chronic illnesses get 50%, on a medical prescription, under the National Health Insurance House (CNAS) rules. The pharmacy's fee for giving the jab is separate: it may be free or charged. The doctor confirms eligibility; the pharmacy confirms what you pay. See the categories and the steps for CNAS reimbursement. Ask the pharmacist about the price of the vaccination service and whether you are eligible.

When to get vaccinated

The best time is autumn, between October and December, before the peak of the flu season. The body needs about two weeks to build up protection. You can still get vaccinated later in the winter if you missed it in the autumn — the protection stays useful throughout the cold season.

Call or book ahead

Vaccination is often by appointment. The pharmacy needs vaccine in stock and a trained pharmacist available, so we recommend calling before you go. Open your town's page, take the phone number of the nearest authorised pharmacy, ask whether the vaccine is available and agree on a time. A few minutes on the phone save you a wasted trip.

Where the data comes from

The official Ministry of Health list of pharmacies authorised to give flu vaccinations (list of 29 October 2026), without the entries marked “activity suspended”, and the list of vaccination centres published by Help Net (checked on 1 November 2026). Each pharmacy is matched to its row in the list by locality, address and street number; we do not mark a pharmacy just because it is close to a listed one, and drugstores and herbal shops are not shown.
