It is important that everyone has the recommended COVID-19 vaccination protection. Recommendations vary by age and risk group. A booster dose can be given if at least three months have passed from a coronavirus infection.

If you have had a coronavirus infection during October-December 2022, you do not have to take a booster dose during the first months of 2023 (3 months after you have been ill).

A booster dose can be given if you have received 2 vaccinations of the COVID-19 series of vaccinations. One case of coronavirusinfected illness counts as one dose of vaccine.

If the basic series of vaccinations is incomplete, you should supplement or start now. If you have received one vaccination AND have had the coronavirus-infected illness at least once, you can come to Mehiläinen to complete your series of vaccinations. Similarly, if you have had coronavirus at least twice but have not received any vaccine, you can complete the series of vaccinations at Mehiläinen.

In principle, you can, but in the light of current knowledge, you already have very good protection against severe coronavirus for a long period of time in this situation. Additional doses may also have a short-term benefit in preventing mild disease or infectivity, but the benefits will disappear in the coming months.

Repeated booster doses are currently not recommended for people who do not belong to any high-risk group, and no additional repeated doses will be given in Mehiläinen.

• You may experience local symptoms at the injection site such as soreness, redness, feeling hot and swelling as a side effect of the vaccination.
• Other common general symptoms associated with the vaccination include fever, muscle ache, headache, fatigue, irritability and chills, which will subside relatively quickly. Local swelling of the lymph nodes may also occur. These typical symptoms are more common after the second dose of the vaccine.

They can be treated with fever and pain medication, primarily paracetamol in accordance with the symptom.
