Coronavirus vaccines, tests and certificates are conducted by the public sector

The FSHS has received some questions on whether or not the FSHS is vaccinating students against COVID-19. According to the current information corona related vaccines are conducted by the public sector, more specifically the municipalities. We will notify students immediately through our own communications channels in case of changes related to COVID-19 vaccines.

The FSHS does not conduct COVID-19 tests. Nor is the FSHS issuing certificates related to the coronavirus. In case you need a COVID-19 test then contact your own municipal health care authorities.
