Vaccination sites

Vaccinations are organised at Siun sote health stations in different municipalities. In addition, coronavirus vaccinations are administered at the vaccination point at Malmikatu 9 in the centre of Joensuu and, if necessary, at the premises of private providers.

Both vaccination doses are administered at the same vaccination site.

Two vaccinations ensure the best protection

The COVID-19 vaccine is administered in two doses. When you get your first vaccination, you will be given an appointment for the second vaccination. The second vaccine dose is administered 6 weeks after the first vaccination.

The second vaccine dose is important in order to boost the protective efficacy of the vaccine. The second dose also ensures that the protection lasts as long as possible.

The second appointment will be at the same vaccination point where the first vaccine was administered.

Changing a booster vaccination appointment

The vaccination appointment reserved for the 2nd dose can only be postponed if there is an unavoidable obstacle. For those travelling abroad for a long time, the interval between vaccinations can be shortened on a case-by-case basis. Under the policy line taken by Siun sote, the gap between the first and second doses must be at least 6 weeks. The interval between vaccines can be shortened for medical reasons on a case-by-case basis. Changing appointments is possible only on Mondays through the telephone number used for booking coronavirus vaccines. Contact the health stations only for urgent cancellation of vaccination appointments.

Maintaining safety instructions

It should be noted that even after being vaccinated it is still important to maintain safety distances, maintain good hand and coughing hygiene, use a face covering when maintaining a safe distance is not possible, go for a test if any symptoms emerge and comply with any other guidelines relating to combating coronavirus.
