Fear of nuclear radiation, Finland asks people to buy iodine. The tablets wear

The Finnish government has issued new recommendations for the population in case of nuclear radiation. The state has advised people between the ages of 4 and 40 and pregnant women to stock up on iodine pills.

Following this warning from the Finnish Ministry of Social Affairs and Health, pharmacies in Finland ran out of stocks of iodine tablets within hours. As this ministry explains in a statement, there are currently no iodine tablets for sale in Finland for children under 3 years old.

Currently, the Nordic country has a massive network of civil defense shelters, large strategic stockpiles of supplies and emergency protocols to deal with almost any eventuality. The main advice of the authorities continues to be to stay indoors, "because it is the most effective way to reduce exposure to radiation". Taking iodine tablets would be "a complementary secondary precaution", says the text published by the Ministry.

In fact, demand for this over-the-counter product was so high that the online site of the country's largest pharmacy chain, Yliopiston Apteekki, temporarily went down.

Finland is not the only country near Russia and Ukraine that would suffer the consequences of a nuclear attack. In August, the Romanian government also called on its population to buy iodine tablets as well. On that occasion, the concern of the authorities was not so much focused on the possible use of nuclear weapons, but on a "nuclear disaster" at the Ukrainian plant in Zaporizhia, which has been constantly surrounded by Russian forces, despite the danger this entails.
