The recommended pharmacy price of the flu vaccine in Türkiye for the 2026-2027 season has been set at 764 liras. Vaccines have been distributed to pharmacies in stages since late September.
For people within the reimbursement scope, the Social Security Institution (SGK) pays 451.01 liras of the price, and the patient pays the remaining roughly 313 liras. The coverage does not apply to everyone and depends on conditions such as age, health status and a doctor’s prescription. Those outside the scope pay the full price.

October and November are best
Experts recommend getting vaccinated in October and November so that immunity can build up before the flu season.
The same rules apply to foreigners living in Türkiye: those covered by general health insurance can benefit from SGK support if they meet the conditions, while others pay the pharmacy price. People are advised to check coverage and prices with their pharmacist.
