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.
