rokotussuosituksiin

Rokotussuositukset are vaccination recommendations issued in Finland. These recommendations are developed by the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare (THL), a government agency. They aim to prevent infectious diseases and promote public health by outlining which vaccines should be administered to different age groups and to individuals with specific health conditions.

The recommendations are based on scientific evidence, risk assessments of diseases, and the effectiveness and safety of vaccines. They cover the national vaccination program, including routine vaccinations for infants and children, as well as recommendations for adolescents, adults, and older adults. Specific recommendations are also made for pregnant women, individuals with chronic illnesses, and healthcare professionals.

THL regularly reviews and updates these recommendations to adapt to new scientific findings and changes in disease prevalence. The goal is to ensure that the Finnish population has access to the most effective and up-to-date vaccination protection. Information about rokotussuositukset is publicly available on THL's website and through healthcare providers, enabling individuals to make informed decisions about vaccinations.
