Benefits of the COVID-19 vaccine and getting prepared for vaccination
COVID-19 vaccination is an effective way of protecting yourself against the disease caused by COVID-19 and it reduces the risk of a severe COVID-19 disease. COVID-19 vaccination is particularly important for high-risk groups and people with primary diseases. Getting vaccinated also protects your loved ones.
How to prepare for the COVID-19 vaccination:
- Appointment booking: Book an appointment in advance and make sure you know the location of the vaccination site.
- Clothing: Wear comfortable clothing, such as a short-sleeve shirt, so that the vaccine can be administered easily.
- Proof of identity: Have your identity document with you.
- Food and drink: Avoid drinking alcohol before the vaccination and make sure you have eaten and drunk enough.
New, updated COVID-19 vaccines
In autumn 2024, the new Comirnaty JN.1 COVID-19 vaccine, updated to be effective against the JN.1 variant, will be in use. The same COVID-19 vaccine is also used by the wellbeing services counties. The vaccines have been updated in accordance with the recommendations of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and they maintain the efficacy of the vaccines received previously. The updated vaccines offer better protection against the currently circulating COVID-19 variants.
Booster doses and recommendations
A COVID-19 vaccine booster dose is particularly recommended for the following groups:
- For the elderly in nursing homes or in regular home care
- For everyone aged 75 and over
- For severely immunocompromised people of all ages
In addition, vaccination is recommended for everyone aged 65 and over as well as everyone who is aged 18 and over and has a condition that increases the risk of a severe COVID-19 disease.
Basic series of COVID-19 vaccinations
The Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare has updated its recommendations regarding the basic series of COVID-19 vaccinations. The new recommendation applies to people who have not previously received any COVID-19 vaccinations.
The following is recommended as the basic series:
- One dose of the COVID-19 vaccine (instead of the previous recommendation of three doses) for everyone aged 18 and over and for high-risk group members aged 12 and over. Mehiläinen does not vaccinate people under the age of 18.
- Two doses of the vaccine for severely immunocompromised people.
- On a discretionary basis, 2–3 doses of the vaccine for individuals who have received a stem cell transplant.
