Current vaccines
If more than one product is available for vaccination groups, you cannot choose the vaccine to be used. The same vaccine is used for the first and second vaccination.
- Pfizer / BioNTech: we vaccinate people aged 16–64, 2 vaccinations (12 weeks apart)
- Modern: we vaccinate people aged 18–64, 2 vaccinations (12 weeks apart)
- AstraZeneca: we vaccinate people aged 65–69, 2 vaccinations (12 weeks apart)
THL has decided that AstraZeneca's coronavirus vaccine will only be given to people over the age of 65. In accordance with the precautionary principle, AstraZeneca's vaccine is not given to those over the age of 65 who have previously suffered from sinus thrombosis, i.e. cerebral vein thrombosis, or heparin-related thrombocytopenia (HIT). Having previously suffered from a cerebral infarction, cerebral hemorrhage, or subdural effusion is not an obstacle to administering the vaccine. A previous pulmonary embolism or deep vein thrombosis, for example in the lower limbs, is also not an obstacle to vaccination.
You can book a corona vaccination appointment for the AstraZeneca vaccine if you belong to risk group 1 or 2, you are over 65 years old, but you are under 70 years old.
You can book a corona vaccination appointment for the Pfizer / Moderna vaccine if you belong to risk group 1 or 2, you are over 60 years old, but you are under 65 years old.
