The National Security and Defense Council believes the health minister and the chief sanitary doctor should be appointed members of the council.
National Security and Defense Council Secretary Raisa Bohatyriova gave her position on the Ukraina TV channel on Friday evening.
The health minister and, maybe, the chief state in such situations on obligatory vaccination of risk groups," she said.
According to Bohatyriova, the discrimination of vaccination among people is one of the reasons for the spread of the flu virus in Ukraine, although the vaccination is one of the most effective instrument to avoid the disease.
As Ukrainian News earlier reported, the Health Ministry on October 30 declared the A(H1N1) flu epidemic.
The Cabinet of Ministers has introduced quarantine in nine regions, banned organization of mass events, and closed schools for three weeks because of the epidemic influenza.
