You may receive an influenza vaccination also at your own expense
Those who do not belong to a risk group may receive an influenza vaccination at their own expense. You can renew your prescription from last year via the Omakanta service. You can request a new vaccine prescription using the chat service or by calling your own health centre.
The influenza vaccine protects against influenza (also known as flu) and its secondary diseases, such as ear infection, bronchitis, pneumonia, myocardial infarction and cerebrovascular disorder. Vaccination is the best protection against influenza. However, it does not protect against colds. Under the national programme, the influenza vaccine is given free of charge to those whose health is substantially threatened by influenza or whose health benefits from the vaccine are significant.
If you have booked an appointment for your vaccination, please arrive about 10 minutes before the appointment time.
Only come to your appointment if you are in good health. Bring your Kela card or driving license with you. Please take into consideration in your choice of clothing that the vaccination is given in the upper arm. We advise wearing clothes that are easy to remove in this area for your appointment. After the vaccination, you will be asked to wait for about 15 minutes at the health centre.
