Vaccinations against coronavirus

To receive the coronavirus vaccine, book an appointment at your local health station.

You can book an appointment through maisa.fi, the Maisa application or by calling the health stations. If you want both the coronavirus and influenza vaccination at the same time, please book only one vaccination appointment.

To get vaccinated, you must prove your identity, for example, with an ID card or Kela card. Vaccination is voluntary and free of charge. We vaccinate in accordance with the recommendations of THL, the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare.
