The Pirogov Murmansk Multidisciplinary Center received a warning from the Interregional Department No. 120 of the FMBA of Russia. This follows from the information on the website of the Prosecutor General. From July to September 2026, the norm was also not met.

Vaccination coverage for a number of infections is critically low. Adults from diphtheria were revaccinated 62 percent of the planned number, from tetanus - 64 percent. Revaccination against measles was performed by 63 percent, and in children by 67 percent. Against mumps - 67 percent, against rubella - 89, against hemophilus infection - 70. Children from pneumococcal infection were vaccinated by 57 percent, revaccination from it was carried out by 70.

According to the national calendar, the coverage of timely immunization should be at least 95 percent.

In addition, additional measures are needed to increase vaccination coverage.
