When you move to Finland, find out which of the vaccinations included in the Finnish vaccination programme you have not received. If you have not received all the vaccinations in the vaccination programme, you can get them free of charge if you move to live permanently in Finland.
If you have applied for asylum or temporary protection in Finland and are a minor or pregnant, you can receive the vaccinations free of charge.
Where can I receive vaccinations?
You can receive vaccinations at your own health centre. If you are a student, contact student health care. Children receive vaccinations at the maternity and child health clinic or school.
Get vaccinated against COVID-19
Get the vaccine against COVID-19. It will protect you from severe coronavirus disease. The vaccine will not cost you anything.
COVID-19 vaccination is available to anyone age 12 and older. Ask your health centre where you can get the COVID-19 vaccine. Younger children can be vaccinated if they belong to a high-risk group.
