Administration of coronavirus vaccinations at the social and health centres in the wellbeing services county of East Uusimaa starts week 38, i.e. the week beginning on 16.9.2024. During the first phase, vaccinations are provided to certain risk groups defined by the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare (THL).
During the first phase, we will offer vaccinations to the following risk groups:
- All persons aged 75 and older
- Persons of all ages with severe immunodeficiency. A person is considered to have a severe immunodeficient if they have a medical condition, if they are undergoing medical treatment, or if they have received treatment which suppresses their immune system. Additional information about immunodeficiency (in Finnish): https://thl.fi/aiheet/infektiotaudit-ja-rokotukset/tietoa-rokotuksista/eri-kohderyhmien-rokottaminen/laaketieteellisten-riskiryhmien-rokottaminen/immuunipuutteisten-rokottaminen/kuka-on-voimakkaasti-immuunipuutteinen-(siirryt toiseen palveluun)
- Clients that receive home care or clients within service housing.
Home care and service housing units handle the vaccinations of their clients.
Information regarding the vaccinations of other target groups will be published later in the autumn. The later booster dose is recommended for all people aged 65 and over, and for all those aged 18 or over with a disease that puts them most at risk of a severe coronavirus infection.
