The announcement came more than two months into the Israeli war on Gaza as international aid organisations have warned about the dire conditions in the crowded Palestinian territory.
The ministry did not specify which vaccinations had run out.
Tedros Ghebreyesus, head of the World Health Organization, warned Sunday that "Gaza's health system is on its knees and collapsing," with 14 of 36 hospitals only partially functioning and supplies running low.
"The risk is expected to worsen with the deteriorating situation and approaching winter conditions," he said.
The Palestinian health ministry called on international institutions to deliver urgently needed vaccines "to prevent disaster".
Israel has waged a 68-day war against Gaza killing over 18,412 people, mostly women and children, and injured 50,100, according to the last figures released by the Palestinian health ministry.
