- We base our new guidelines on the fact that the manufacturer Pfizer in a new transport study eased on how the vaccine can be transported, says Christian Romin Blomkvist, infection control doctor Region Kronoberg.
The previous guidelines meant that the vaccine could not be delivered to patients' homes as it could not be shaken.
But since the company eased the guidelines, some people can now be vaccinated in their home environment.
- Of course, it should not be shaken intentionally or vigorously, but if it is packed in an airy way on a soft surface, it goes well.
Make it easier for more people to get the vaccine
In the first place, however, it still applies that the vaccine should not be transported out to people, but when it can not be solved in any other way, it is now a possibility, says Christian Romin Blomkvist.
- Everyone with home care or home health care can not go to a vaccination clinic.
This will make it easier for more people in the first group to get the vaccine.
When phase two of the vaccination begins, it is the turn of people over 70 - and people who receive care via LSS -.
However, those groups must primarily go to a health center as planned.
- In the first instance, they must book an appointment via their health center.
When it comes to LSS care, we will have a dialogue with the municipalities about how it should be solved.
