Finland’s THL recommends that vaccinations be expanded to 12–15-year-olds

THE FINNISH INSTITUTE for Health and Welfare (THL) is proposing that the campaign to vaccinate the population against the new coronavirus be expanded to also cover 12–15-year-olds.

Mia Kontio, a senior expert at THL, on Thursday reminded in a press conference that even though young people rarely develop serious symptoms from the infection, the indirect consequences of vaccinations would be significant.
