Out of turn second dose corona vaccination?

Post by linpaco » Tue Jun 29, 2021 5:45 pm

Hei,

According to THL (link at the bottom), people can get second dose of vaccination before due date (3 months). Does anyone have any experience? What are the well founded reason? or you used doctor's note? or any way?

thank you all,

It seems clear enough.
In Finland, the interval between doses of the mRNA vaccines is 12 weeks and for the AstraZeneca adenovirus vaccine it is 8-12 weeks.
It's 12 weeks (about 3 months) for the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines, and 8-12 weeks for the AstraZeneca vaccine.
The second dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine can be given already eight weeks after the first dose, because a shorter interval between doses does not slow the progression of vaccinations at the population level.
No other criteria are given, so you can just ask for it.

This also happened in Britain - original everyone had a 12 week wait but they made good progress and wanted to increase the number of people who'd has both vaccinations before this third wave we're now in, so they shortened the interval to 8 weeks.

I am aware of the rules by THL but they have also mentioned that if there are well founded personal reasons the interval of second dose can be changed
Exceptions to the 12-week interval between mRNA vaccinations are possible only for medical reasons, for example, before the start of cancer treatments, a splenectomy, or when the person's immune system is very weak. The interval between doses may also be altered for well-founded personal reasons. Such a reason does not include holiday travel, for example.
I would like to know if someone got out of turn second dose?

You can ask officially request it explaining your personal reason, or you can describe it here and ask people here for their opinion how they would judge your reason.

The number of people in Finland who did this is likely so small that it is unlikely you would find them here.

UPDATE: Called the vaccination center and told them about sickness in the family and they changed the appointment date. Also, THL representative said that a doctors note asking for date change can be enough for date change.

I have just applied for this online, since I need to travel outside of Finland for work. I'll see what they reply and when and give an update here as well.
