TALLINN - Starting Monday, all people aged 50 or those turning 50 this year are invited to come in to get vaccinated against COVID-19, while at-risk people are also still welcome to come in for vaccination regardless of age.
A vaccination appointment can be booked via the national online booking system, by calling one's local hospital or the registration of a private medical institution.
"Over the course of May, we will gradually open the possibility of vaccination to anyone who wants it. Significantly increased vaccine deliveries will make it possible to start the vaccination of people aged 50 and over from the new week, and in the second half of May to open up the possibility to those aged 16-49," Minister of Health and Labor Tanel Kiik said. "Vaccination saves lives, reduces the burden on hospital treatment and allows for a gradual easing of restrictions, the opening up of society and a return to a more normal way of life. Therefore, it is very important that each of us uses the opportunity to get vaccinated."
