Autumn 2025 influenza and COVID-19 vaccinations

People aged 65 and over can book an appointment for influenza and COVID-19 vaccination in Maisa (maisa.fi and the Maisa app) or by phone at +358 9 310 46300 on weekdays from 8.00–16.00 (no call-back service).
Unfortunately, the telephone booking service is currently congested. We recommend calling again later, for example a few days from now.

If your ability to function has become impaired due to age, illness, or exhaustion caused by informal care or other similar reasons, you can purchase home services and related support services from a private company without value added tax. The prerequisite for the VAT-exempt price is for the company to sell services to a person in need of social welfare.

Home services cover assistance related to housing, personal care and other activities that are part of normal life.

Home care support services refer, for example, to

a meal service
clothing care
cleaning
accompanying services
services promoting social interaction.

You can contact companies approved as service providers yourself. You do not need a decision from social welfare authorities. The company can assess whether you are entitled to receive the service at the VAT-exempt price.

The company will assess your service needs and make a service plan and agreement with you for the provision of the services as social welfare services.
