Third dose recommended for people who have received Sputnik coronavirus vaccine at a short interval
Anyone who has received the Sputnik coronavirus vaccine abroad at a short interval is recommended to get a third vaccine dose. Eligible for the third vaccine dose are persons who have received their first and second Sputnik coronavirus vaccine less than 6 weeks apart when more than 6 months have passed since the second dose. An mRNA vaccine (Biontech-Pfizer or Moderna) can be used for the third dose.
Appointments for the third dose can be booked via the call-back service on Mondays from 8 to 9 at 013 330 2131.
The Sputnik coronavirus vaccine is not included in the vaccine series accepted by the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare (THL) for entry to Finland. However, people who have received two Sputnik vaccinations are considered to have received a full vaccination series, and THL does not recommend additional doses on medical grounds to anyone else other than people vaccinated at a short interval.
Recipients of two Sputnik vaccinations are not eligible to receive a coronavirus vaccination certificate even if they receive a third dose of an mRNA vaccine used in Finland. The certificate requires a full vaccination series with vaccines accepted by THL for entry to Finland.
