Influenza and coronavirus vaccinations for risk groups at vaccination points have ended on Friday 17 November 2023. Those in risk groups can receive vaccines by appointment at their own health station.

If you belong to the target groups for both vaccines, you have the option to receive the influenza and coronavirus vaccines simultaneously.

We recommend that individuals in high-risk groups get vaccinated. Vaccines reduce the risk of severe illness, the need for hospitalisation, and fatalities linked to infections. Concurrent infections can increase the risk of severe illness.
