Your first step is your workplace's healthcare provider. Ask your office manager or your HR lady to know who they are and how to contact them. If not possible, the just Google the phone number for your local healthcare centre and the nurse who answers will help you. She'll book you an appointment and ask you to fill a form form to bring with you.
Every case is unique. You can't measure the result of your application based on arbitrary anecdotes online.

Hi!
You mentioned, that you also are a student. You may be eligible to use Finnish Student Heathcare Service FSHS (YTHS).
Check which is your Student Union and eligibility here: http://www.yths.fi/en/fshs/who_can_use_ ... ent_unions

There you can get information on required vaccinations and also get vaccinated.

Vaccination is like any other health care service so as other have said use public, yths, private as you prefer.
