The COVID-19 vaccination campaign in Ukraine is an ongoing mass immunization campaign for the COVID-19 pandemic in Ukraine.

Ukraine's vaccination program started on 24 February 2021 and from that day to 12 September 2021 18% of the adult population of Ukraine had been vaccinated against COVID-19.[1] (About 44% of those vaccinated had been fully vaccinated.[2][3]) On 7 January 2022 the Ministry of Health announced that 44.9% of the adult population had undergone a full course of vaccination.[4] By 2022, the Ministry of Health plans to vaccinate 70% of the country's adult population, including 80% of the elderly.[5]

Ukraine has used vaccines from four different manufacturers.[6] As for November 3, 2021, 17.2% were vaccinated with AstraZeneca, 29.6% - Coronovac, 41.7% - with Pfizer-BioNTech, 11.5% - with Moderna.[7] By late May 2022 Ukrainians were vaccinated with (only) Coronovac and Pfizer-BioNTech.[8]

In March 2021, about half of the population did not plan to get vaccinated.[9][10] In an August 2021 poll 56% of Ukrainians did not plan to be vaccinated.[3][nb 1]

After the 24 February 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine the Ukrainian vaccination program continued, although on a much smaller scale with by late May 2022 50-60 thousand people being vaccinated in a week.[8] By late May 2022 vaccination continued in all regions of Ukraine, except in Luhansk and Donetsk Oblast.[8]

In September 2022 a third dose of the vaccine was offered to everyone who had his last vaccination four months ago.[12]
