Treatment of chronic diseases

In the case of chronic diseases that require monitoring (e.g. asthma, diabetes, coronary artery disease, high blood pressure), the goal is good therapeutic control. If you have a chronic disease, keeping the disease under control largely depends on how actively you monitor it.

Renewal of prescriptions

If you need to renew a prescription, always contact the unit that is in charge of your treatment. If we are not in charge of your treatment in a matter for which you have been prescribed a medicine, we cannot renew that prescription. In this case, we will send the prescription back to you, so that you can send it to the unit in charge of your treatment.

Renewal of electronic prescriptions

You may request the renewal of an electronic prescription in any of the following ways:

  • Through the My Kanta service. 
  • Ask a pharmacy to renew it. Please note that some pharmacies may charge a fee for prescription renewals.
  • Call the appointment booking and counselling number of your health centre.
  • Visit the patient office of a health centre. You do not need to book an appointment, but please be aware that you may need to queue. Health centres used to have prescription mailboxes where you could leave prescriptions that you wished to have renewed, but these mailboxes are no longer available. Current legislation requires us to verify the identity of the person whose prescription is going to be renewed.

When you request the renewal of a prescription, you need to bring with you a list of all medicinal products you are using. You may use this template: List of medicinal products (In Finnish). Legislation and patient safety require that all medicinal products you use are assessed when your prescriptions are renewed.

 

Vaccinations

Basic vaccines listed in the Finnish national vaccination programme

Basic vaccines (e.g. tetanus, polio, measles, mumps and rubella) are available from health centres, child health clinics and school health care. Book a vaccination appointment online, or by calling the appointment booking number of your health centre or by calling a public health nurse directly. 

The National Institute for Health and Welfare (THL):

  • Information about basic vaccines and the vaccination programme for children and adolescents
  • Information about basic vaccines and the vaccination programme for adults

Influenza vaccinations

The influenza vaccines for the winter season 2019–2020 will arrive in Finland a bit later than usual. Vaccinations are expected to begin in the last week of November. We will publish further information when the schedule becomes available.

Vaccination of travellers

Health centre clients: The prevention of some diseases requires several doses of vaccine. Please contact a public health nurse at your health centre well before your trip. A public health nurse will arrange the necessary vaccine prescription(s) for you. After you receive the prescription(s), you need to buy the vaccines at a pharmacy at your own cost.

In addition to basic vaccines, you may need additional vaccines or medication (e.g. against malaria and yellow fever).

The need for additional vaccines and medication depends on the country where you intend to travel, potential heightened risks and the nature and duration of your stay. We recommend that you familiarise yourself with the health guide for travellers (in Finnish) published by the National Institute for Health and Welfare.

The World Health Organization recommends that a person should receive a dose of polio vaccine if more than 12 months have passed since the previous dose and the person

  • will travel to a country where the risk of contracting polio is high
  • arrives in Finland after spending more than four weeks in such a country.

Polio vaccine is recommended before travelling to any of the countries on this list (in Finnish)

TBE vaccinations

The vaccine against tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) is subject to a charge. To get a prescription, call a public health nurse at your health centre. Then buy the vaccine at a pharmacy and bring it with you to a nurse’s vaccination appointment.  You may book a vaccination appointment online, by calling the appointment booking number of the health centre, or by calling a public health nurse directly.

Online appointment booking for a vaccination appointment

To ensure sufficient immunity, we recommend that you begin the vaccine series already in the winter, well before the tick season. For example, on Åland Islands the tick season begins in May. The National Institute for Health and Welfare (THL) has published a map of TBE risk areas (in Finnish).

Request your vaccine information

All vaccines you have been given in Espoo are listed in the My Kanta service if at least one vaccine has been given after 2014. If your information is not in the My Kanta service, you may request it from your health centre.

 

Allergen immunotherapy

The Tapiola Health Centre provides allergen immunotherapy for Espoo residents. Allergen immunotherapy is available for patients allergic to birch, mugwort or timothy-grass who have hay fever or asthma. 

The need for allergen immunotherapy is assessed and the treatment is begun by specialised medical care providers (the Skin and Allergy Hospital or the Jorvi Hospital). To get assessed, you need a referral from a health centre physician. 

When a patient enters the maintenance phase of allergen immunotherapy, they transfer back to their health centre. Pollen allergen immunotherapy usually takes three years. The annual control visits of asthma patients, and every patient’s control visit at the end of the treatment are performed as specialised medical care. 

You may visit the allergen immunotherapy reception of the without appointment:

  • on Tuesdays at 8–10
  • on Thursdays at 14–16.

The allergen immunotherapy reception is closed 20 June – 7 July 2019. If you have any questions concerning allergen immunotherapy, please call the Tapiola Health Centre appointment booking number 09 816 34500 (weekdays at 7–18) and request a call back. Street address: Ahertajantie 2
