Due to a fire, Kontula Symppis is closed until further notice. The Itis and Sörkka Symppis locations, as well as the street-based outreach work of Mobile Symppis, are operating as usual. We will provide an update as soon as we have more information about when Kontula Symppis will reopen.

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.
