CORONAVIRUS
VACCINATIONS IN ESPOO
Check the current vaccination
situation and whose
turn it is to get vaccinated at
espoo.fi/coronavaccination.
The vaccines provide effective
protection against the coronavirus
disease, especially severe
forms of the disease. The City of
Espoo offers the vaccine free of
charge to everyone who wants it.
Residents are being vaccinated
in phases based on age and risk
groups, in accordance with the
national recommendation of the
Finnish Institute for Health and
Welfare (THL).
According to the recommendation,
the first ones to be
vaccinated are the people with
the greatest risk of developing a
severe or fatal form of the coronavirus
disease and people with
a significant risk of encountering
the virus at work. The rest of the
population will be offered the
vaccine after these groups.
We will send, in phases, a vaccination
invitation letter and
appointment booking instructions
by post to all Espoo residents
who turn 70 this year or
are older than 70.
Although coronavirus vaccinations
have begun, it is still important
to protect yourself and others
and follow good hygiene
practices. Information on current
recommendations and restrictions is
available at espoo.fi/coronavirus.
