Please note that the THL (Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare) recommendations for COVID-19 vaccination target groups have changed since last year. This year, only people aged 75 and over are eligible for the vaccine based on age alone. Those under 75 must have at least two underlying health conditions to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. People of all ages with severe immune deficiencies are eligible for a free vaccination. Please check whether you belong to the target group before booking an appointment.
