Current vaccination

Corona virus COVID-19

Free booster doses of the coronavirus vaccine will be offered during the fall of 2024 to elderly people in nursing homes or regularly organized home care, to people of all ages with severe immunodeficiency, to everyone aged 65 and over, and to individuals aged 18 and over who belong to risk groups. Additionally, a primary series of one vaccine dose is recommended for previously unvaccinated individuals aged 18 and over, as well as for those aged 12-17 who belong to risk groups.

The COVID-19 disease is caused by the SARS-CoV-2-virus. It causes respiratory infections that range from almost asymptomatic disease to severe forms that require hospitalization and even intensive care. The risk of severe disease is increased by old age and multiple concurrent underlying conditions. Vaccination protects especially against severe forms of the coronavirus disease.

Current corona virus monitoring information

True or false

Vaccinations are no longer needed?

Smallpox is the only disease that has been globally eradicated. Other diseases, such as measles, are a good example of the importance of maintaining vaccination coverage.

Vaccinations cause autism?

The study that linked the MMR vaccine with autism has been proved false. Vaccine safety is carefully monitored and the benefits of vaccination outweigh the risks.

Do vaccines contain dangerous amounts of toxins?

The quantities are much lower than what we take in from food and beverages and our living environment, in general.

Vaccinations are not necessary for nearby travel?

The most important vaccines for travellers are the same basic immunisations that are recommended to be kept up to date even in Finland. Even those travelling to nearby regions should get the Hepatitis A vaccine and the influenza vaccine. Tick-borne encephalitis is found in regions including the Swedish archipelago.

Vaccines should not be administered to pregnant women?

Many vaccines benefit the health of the mother as well as the child.
