The coronavirus vaccinations will proceed, as directed by the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare, starting from the most aged and moving towards ever younger people, while taking those most at risk into account.

If your neighbours or family members cannot help you tend to your groceries, shopping or pharmacy visits, contact us for guidance at our helpline.
