Staggered corona vaccinations continue in Päijät-Hämee.
The fourth corona vaccinations will be extended to those over 60 years of age. In the Päijät-Sote area, starting this week, everyone over the age of 60 will receive the fourth vaccination.
The fourth vaccinations have been received gradually since the end of July. First, everyone over the age of 70 and from the beginning of August those aged 18–69 who belong to the risk groups received the vaccines.
According to THL, a coronavirus infection is equivalent to one corona vaccine. A person who has had the corona disease and received three vaccines does not need a fourth corona vaccine.
