What a surprise

Finland stops using vaccine passports
Published 29 December 2021 at 06.15
INKES. Finland is scrapping vaccine passes for three more weeks following the spread of omicron. Instead, new general restrictions are being introduced.


Among the new restrictions are that taverns must stop serving alcohol after 5pm, and some similar measures.

- Protection against omicron infection is clearly weaker. Then the vaccine passport can give a false sense of security, says Joakim Dillner, professor of infectious disease epidemiology, to TT.

The vaccine cards will be discontinued until 17 January because they do not work. Previously, restaurants, theatres and cinemas were allowed to admit visitors with vaccine passes.
