Vaccination
requires an ID and the guardians' consent
In order to get a vaccine, the child’s identity must be proven, for example, with an ID card or Kela card. Vaccination is voluntary and free of charge.
Vaccination requires the consent of both guardians. If the child comes in for a vaccine with only one guardian, a written consent form signed by the absent guardian must be presented. The consent form can be printed
from the THL website(Link leads to external service).
