Influenza vaccinations 2026–2027

(Published 2 Oct 2026)

Influenza vaccinations for 2026–2027 will begin at FSHS service units in October or November. Social and healthcare students in higher education, as well as students belonging to risk groups, can receive their influenza vaccinations from the FSHS free of charge. Other students can, if they wish, purchase the vaccine at a pharmacy at their own expense.

Students and an FSHS employee in the corridor of an FSHS service unit.

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. Please note that it is possible to be vaccinated at all FSHS’s own service units, but the partner units will only vaccinate students in higher education studying in these localities.

Vaccination arrangements vary between localities. In many localities, students need to book an individual vaccination appointment. In some service units, vaccination events are organized without an appointment.

Please note that you cannot get a corona vaccination from the FSHS. If you need a corona vaccination, please contact your own wellbeing services county.
