The President pointed to a number of errors in Government's healthcare policy in preventing and fighting flu outbreak in Ukraine. Particularly, he said the vaccination against seasonal influenza has not been conducted. "The Government is not prepared for vaccination, although the society has been discussing it from April", said Victor Yushchenko.
