About this service

Description

The TBE vaccine provides protection against tick-borne encephalitis (TBE). Please note that while the TBE vaccine is often called a 'tick vaccine', it does not protect you against ticks or prevent a tick from attaching itself to your skin. The most common disease spread by ticks is borreliosis, i.e. Lyme disease. There is no vaccine against this. The free-of-charge TBE vaccination series is provided to people who have a permanent address in the postal code area 00800 (Länsi-Herttoniemi) or Karhusaari or a long-term holiday apartment in the area. This vaccination is included in the national vaccination programme. Children and young people in early childhood and basic education in these areas are also provided with the vaccine series free of charge. Booster shots for those who have already received three vaccine doses are not included in the vaccination programme but can be purchased.

About this service

Description

Mobility support is intended for Helsinki residents with a disability for whom using public transport is unreasonably difficult. The support we provide can be a transport service or other mobility support best suited to your situation. We grant support for your commute to work or studies and travelling for errands and leisure activities. We do not grant support for health care-related trips, as Kela reimburses visits to doctors and examinations on the basis of health insurance. You can apply for mobility support by filling in the mobility support application form. You need a medical certificate to accompany your application, in which your doctor has assessed your need for support. Send your application to a service point of Social Work for People with Disabilities in your area of residence. We will assess your situation and decide on the service. If you receive a positive decision for transport service, you will receive a payment card, which allows you to travel, as a rule, in Helsinki and nearby municipalities by taxi. You only make a copayment for the trips.
