Occupational healthcare services instructed that those living in the USA for more than a year should take a polio vaccine. Is the vaccination also covered for my child here in the USA?

Vaccination administered to prevent an illness will be compensated if the vaccine is part of the national vaccination programme and the vaccination would be available free of charge in Finland (national vaccination programme).

The vaccine will also be included in the cover if the occupational healthcare provider considers that the vaccine in question is necessary on the basis of an individual risk assessment or if the travel health guide (Matkailijan terveysopas, in Finnish) recommends taking the vaccine in your travel destination.
