Inoculation regulations can change at short notice. Please take medical advice in the case of doubt. Where 'Sometimes' appears in the table above, precautions may be
required, depending on the season and region visited.
Other Risks
Campers and trekkers should take precautions against tick bites and consider immunisation against tick-borne encephalitis if visiting the Åland Islands. Mosquitoes are a pest during the damp summers, particularly in the north - bring mosquito repellent and topical cream to stop bites becoming infected.
Health Care
If you are suddenly taken ill or involved in an accident during a visit to Finland, treatment is available for travellers from the European Economic Area at the same subsidised cost as for Finnish citizens. However, you must produce a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC). Comprehensive insurance is advised for all other nationals, but first check with your country's health department to see if a reciprocal cover agreement is in place with Finland. The emergency number to call an ambulance is 112.
