We will give your baby the vaccinations required by the Finnish national vaccination programme as part of some of your baby's check-ups at the child health clinic. The vaccines protect against a wide range of diseases and their possible complications. The vaccinations provided by the child health clinic are free of charge.

You can book appointments for age-specific check-ups in Maisa.

The Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare (THL) website provides more information about vaccines and the diseases they protect against. More information is also available at your maternity and child health clinic.
