When you travel
abroad from Finland ( or Scandinavia ) it is worthwhile
to read the following information about vaccines:
A vaccination and medication program
must be planned 3-4 months before a trip to far
off places. The vaccinations must be started 6-8
weeks before the trip in order to get best possible
protection during the trip. The medicines one
takes to prevent illnesses must always be taken
after the arrival to your destination not just
before boarding your flight! You must always have
valid prescriptions and EU validated documents
from the local pharmacy for your medicines! Remember
only to drink water from a bottle you have purchased
and opened yourself!
