| Summary: | Introducrion. Due to the peculiarities of the Krasnoyarsk krai (a huge territory, low population density, different levels of health development in the districts, personnel shortage), there is a need to increase the availability and quality of medical care to district patients.

The lack of flu vaccination in 97% of patients increased the number of deaths by 4.5 times. The greatest need for consultation arose in the Central district hospitals of low capacity.
