In Thursday's Corona special where SVT lets viewers ask the questions to the guests, this time it was time for Anders Tegnell, state epidemiologist at the Swedish Public Health Agency to participate.

He received several questions about the covid-19 vaccine.

Deliveries to Sweden, among other places, have recently deteriorated considerably and now it can affect people over 60 years of age.

- It is constantly becoming more complicated as there seem to be fewer doses than was said before so there is probably a risk that you can not be vaccinated until April if it means bad, he says in the program.

"Gets tough in April and May"

However, Tegnell says that it is still hoped that all Swedes will have been offered a vaccine before midsummer.

- Our assessment that we share with the regions is still that it should work, but it will be tough in April and May.

On Friday, the EU is expected to approve Astra Zeneca's vaccine, but it is still unclear whether it will be approved for people over 65 to take the vaccine.

Something that can affect Sweden negatively.

"Will probably be an intermediate period"

- Whether you do it or not is probably due to the fact that you do not have enough data to say whether it is good for the elderly or not.

But there will be more data, so it will probably be an intermediate period how to use the vaccine if it is not approved for the elderly already in step one.

We can adapt to that as we have other vaccines, says Anders Tegnell.

There may be fewer doses of vaccine to Sweden, how do you think it can affect mortality?

- This is very sad, some people will then have to wait and there will be much more pressure to vaccinate during the second quarter.

It will be much more stressful for healthcare to handle, but we will have time to vaccinate those who are most sensitive before then.
