The Ministry of Social Affairs and Health Permanent Secretary Kirsi Varhila has revealed that the delivery of coronavirus vaccine doses in the country has been slower than expected, reported the national broadcaster Yle.
According to Varhila, vaccines in the EU are distributed based on population, and Finland has received the correct share of the doses that have so far been delivered.
According to the report, Finland expected between 100,000 and 300,000 doses to be delivered to the country over the Christmas period, but only 10,000 doses arrived in the first batch.
Last Wednesday, about 40,000 more doses arrived in Finland, with vaccinations set to continue next week.
