Autumn 2025 influenza and COVID-19 vaccinations

Appointment booking for influenza and COVID-19 vaccinations opens for people aged 65 and over on 16 September in Maisa and on 17 September by phone, tel. +358 9 310 46300. Unfortunately, Maisa mistakenly released information suggesting that vaccination appointments were already available. Some appointments were briefly available in Maisa. If you managed to book an appointment, you do not need to book a new one.

For those under 65, appointment booking opens on 8 October in both Maisa and by phone.

Significantly stressful life events

Life doesn't always go as planned. The strain of being a caregiver, the loss of a livelihood, the death of a loved one, and being hospitalised are just some examples of life events and crises during which you need a great deal of support.

Dealing with caregiver stress
An informal caregiver can come under pressure and stress in taking care of someone close to them. Support for informal caregivers includes days off, but it is also possible to stop being an informal caregiver.
If you need help quickly
You may need help quickly in an unexpected situation. In a crisis, you may need help at home.
Income and livelihood of a person with an illness or disability
If you fall ill or become disabled as an adult, you may have questions about what your income and livelihood can consist of. The kinds of support available also change as the person ages.
Death of a loved one
The death of a child is often referred to as the worst possible experience a parent can go through. On the other hand, a parent of child with special needs may worry about how their own death could impact their child.
