Information about influenza vaccinations at the FSHS

Influenza vaccinations (2023–2024) will start at FSHS in November. Health and welfare students in higher education, as well as students belonging to a risk group can receive their influenza vaccinations from the FSHS free of charge.

You belong to a risk group if influenza poses a significant health risk to you or if you’re repeatedly in close contact with people at risk of serious influenza. Students belonging to a risk group include for instance pregnant women and students with diabetes or chronic cardiac or pulmonary disease.

When and where to receive the vaccination

If you belong to any of the above groups, you can receive the influenza vaccination in your place of study or work placement – either at an FSHS service unit or a partner service unit. Students can visit any FSHS service unit for their vaccination, but partner units will only vaccinate students in higher education studying in these towns.

Vaccination arrangements vary between towns. At some service units students need to book an individual vaccination appointment, whereas in some towns there’ll be mass vaccinations without an appointment.

If you’re studying in a town where you need an appointment to receive the influenza vaccination at your service unit, book it primarily in the Self online service by yourself. You will receive a booking permission in the online service Self during week 43.

Important to remember

Vaccination cannot be given to anyone experiencing a fever.
When you arrive you’ll have to prove your identity with a photo ID (such as an ID card, a Kela card or a student card). Students from other EU or EEA countries must provide a European Health Insurance Card.
There is no possibility of receiving a corona vaccination at FSHS. If you wish to receive both the flu vaccination and the corona vaccination at the same time, please contact your own Wellbeing Services County.
If you have booked an appointment, please arrive on time.
It is recommended to take off outerwear in a waiting hall.
After receiving the vaccination, it is a good idea to sit for 10–15 minutes in the waiting hall in case of possible vaccination reactions.
Please remember to reschedule or cancel your appointment in time if required.

Instructions for those who plan to visit a partner unit

If you’re a health and welfare student or belong to a risk group and you’re going to receive the vaccination at a partner unit in your place of study:

Please note that partner units will only vaccinate students in higher education studying in these towns.
Complete the appropriate form in the Self online service to receive the authorisation to use outsourced services. You’ll need the authorisation to book an appointment for the influenza vaccination at a partner unit. You will find the form in Self during the week 43.
As soon as you’ve been granted the authorisation, you’ll receive a confirmation SMS.
Book the appointment by calling the partner unit’s booking service and remember to mention that it’s about the influenza vaccination. Check here who produces the services.
The partner unit will give you more instructions on arriving for the influenza vaccination.
Postpone or cancel your appointment, if necessary, according to the service provider’s instructions.

Vaccinations for other students who are not health and welfare students or don’t belong to a risk group

If you’re not a health and welfare student or don’t belong to a risk group but would like to receive the influenza vaccine, please contact us primarily by completing the appropriate form in the Self online service to get a prescription and an appointment booking permission. FSHS can provide you with a vaccine prescription and you can then purchase the vaccine at a pharmacy at your own expense. You will find the form in Self during the week 43.

Postponing or cancelling an appointment

If you’ve booked an appointment for the influenza vaccination but are unable to attend, remember to postpone or cancel the appointment at least 24 hours beforehand – this way you avoid paying for a fee for unattended appointments.

If your vaccination appointment is at an FSHS service unit, postpone or cancel it in Self. When you postpone the appointment, you will not lose your booking permission. Please note that you will not receive a reminder SMS about postponed appointments. If you don’t need the appointment, you can cancel it. Remember that if you cancel your appointment, you’ll lose your booking permission.

If your vaccination appointment is at a partner service unit, postpone or cancel it according to the service provider’s instructions.

If you’re attending a mass vaccination that doesn’t require an appointment, you don’t have to inform us about your attendance.
