The fourth dose of the COVID-19 vaccine is now offered
to all 18–69-year-olds who belong to risk groups 1 and 2. You must book an
appointment to get vaccinated. The
fourth dose of the vaccine can be administered when at least three months have
passed since receiving the third dose.
The fastest way to book an appointment is at bookcovidvaccine.fi. You can
also book a vaccination appointment by calling
tel. +358 9 310 46300 (Mon–Fri 8.00–16.00). Find

“Underlying
conditions suffered by those belonging to risk groups can increase the risk of
developing dangerous COVID-19 symptoms.
We are making the vaccine available for
all persons aged
18 and above who belong to risk groups in the hopes that as many Helsinki
residents as possible avoid suffering
a severe form of corona. Due
to the summer holiday season, we are administering vaccinations
for new target groups
gradually and by
appointment only.
Vaccinations
are given as quickly as possible,” says Timo Lukkarinen, the Medical Director of health
stations.
To get vaccinated, you will need to prove your
identity, for example, with an identity card or Kela card. We
advise you also to be prepared to give
proof of belonging to
a risk group by, for example, showing a copy of your medical record.
The fourth dose of the corona vaccine is Pfizer’s mRNA
vaccine. For more information on the vaccine, visit
the Finnish institute for health and welfare THL’s website. Vaccination
is voluntary and free of charge.
We do not administer fourth doses of the vaccine to
persons who have received three doses and, in addition, recovered from a
coronavirus infection. You are considered up-to-date at this time.
To
avoid queues at the vaccination points, please
do not arrive at the site long before your booked appointment – thank you!
