Where to get vaccinated in Londrina this Saturday
Health officials in Londrina have scheduled a special vaccination “plantão” for this Saturday to increase flu shot uptake. According to reports from G1 and Tem Londrina, doses will be available at high-traffic locations, specifically within shopping malls and supermarkets.
The initiative aims to provide more convenient access for residents who cannot visit traditional health clinics during standard weekday business hours.

Vaccination eligibility is shifting toward the general public in other Paraná municipalities. In Maringá, the flu vaccine will be available to the general population starting June 29, according to the city government.
Meanwhile, São José dos Pinhais has already removed restrictions on who can receive the shot. According to Bem Paraná, the municipality has released flu vaccination for the entire population.

- São José dos Pinhais: Currently open to the entire population.
- Maringá: General public eligibility begins June 29.
- Londrina: Utilizing targeted weekend pop-up sites in commercial hubs to increase reach.
