27.8.2021 7.11

Students can get the coronavirus vaccine in Espoo if it is their municipality of residence or place of study. Foreign students can also get vaccinated in Espoo if they are staying in the city for more than four weeks.

First dose

If Espoo is your municipality of residence, you can book your vaccination appointment online at bookcovidvaccine.fi. If you want to book an appointment by phone, call our number +358 9 81634800 (Mon–Fri 8:00–18:00) and leave a call-back request. If Espoo is not your municipality of residence, please book your appointment by phone.

You can also get the first dose of the vaccine without booking an appointment at our pop-up vaccination site or at the Iso Omena vaccination site. The walk-in vaccination site at Iso Omena is open from Monday to Friday 9:30–11:30 and 12:15–14:00. The vaccination site is located on the second floor of the shopping centre, below the Iso Omena Service Centre. The best way to find the vaccination site is to enter the shopping centre from the main entrance on the metro side of the building on Piispansilta.

Second dose

The second dose of the vaccine is given 8–12 weeks after the first dose. You can book your second vaccination appointment at the same time as you book your first appointment. Alternatively, our staff will book an appointment for you in connection with your first vaccination.

Even if you received the first dose in your municipality of residence, you can receive the second dose in Espoo. In this case, please call the appointment booking number for coronavirus vaccinations, tel. +358 9 81634800, Mon–Fri 8:00–18:00. We have a call-back system. Please be prepared to tell our staff which vaccine you have received and when.

Make sure you have your Kela card or ID with you when visiting the vaccination site.

Pop-up vaccination sites are being planned

There will be a pop-up vaccination site at the Entresse Library (Siltakatu 11, Espoon keskus) on Thursday and Friday 26–27 August and on Thursday and Friday 2–3 September. You can visit the site between 10:00 and 18:00 without booking an appointment to get your first dose of the coronavirus vaccine.

There are also plans to have pop-up vaccination sites on university premises. Further information will be provided by your school.

Please note! At the moment, only the first dose of the vaccine is available at our walk-in and pop-up sites. In other words, you cannot receive the second dose at these sites.
