During week 2, priority staff groups in care and health care will also begin to be vaccinated.
This applies to priority groups, both within Region Gotland and those who work for private care providers.
- In the first phase, we now prioritize staff in elderly care, home health care and care staff in intensive care units (IVA and IMA), says vaccine coordinator Christine Senter.
About 2,000 employees are prioritized, writes Region Gotland.
Vaccinations for intensive care staff are also brought forward a few weeks.
- This is to try to secure the staffing in this business, which is heavily burdened due to the ongoing pandemic. High staff shortages in intensive care can have consequences for patient safety, says vaccine coordinator Christine Senter.
