Flu vaccine under five dinars
The National Center for Infectious and Epidemic Diseases has called on insurance companies in Jordan to include the seasonal influenza vaccine within health coverage. The goal is to protect the most vulnerable groups from complications, reduce hospital admissions, and lower treatment costs. The center's director explained that vaccination helps decrease hospital admission rates, especially among the elderly, pregnant women, and individuals with chronic conditions. The cost of the vaccine ranges between 5 and 10 Jordanian dinars, and it can drop to less than 5 dinars when purchased in large quantities. He also noted that including the vaccine in insurance plans could result in cost savings for insurers, with a meeting scheduled soon to present economic data and health benefits, all aimed at strengthening prevention against seasonal respiratory illnesses.
