Influenza vaccinations for people aged 65 and above

Everyone aged 65 and above will get an influenza vaccination free of charge. Vaccinations for clients receiving regular home care will be carried out through their own home care service area. Vaccinations for 65-year-olds and above living in housing service units are administered by the housing service unit.

An alternative vaccine is also available for those over 85 years of age and those over 50 years of age who are severely immunosuppressed. The Fluad Tetra vaccine, which contains a booster, is offered to immunocompromised individuals. The vaccine is likely to give them better and longer protection than the Vaxigrip Tetra vaccine without a booster.

If you belong to a group that is offered an influenza vaccine containing a booster, you may choose the vaccine on the vaccination appointment if an influenza vaccine with a booster is available. The availability of the new vaccine is limited.
