When should I be vaccinated?

• You will be informed when you will be vaccinated by a letter via letter to the home.

• Those who have become most seriously ill from covid-19 are the oldest, therefore they are prioritized by FHM to phase one.

Age is the highest risk factor.

First, priority is given to those who live or work in housing for the elderly or have home care in their household (preliminary schedule December - February in the Uppsala Region).

If you are over 70 years of age but do not live in a nursing home or have home care, you will be called in the second phase.

It also includes medical staff and people who have assistance according to LSS (preliminary schedule March - April in the Uppsala Region).

After that, other people who are at greater risk of becoming seriously ill will be offered vaccines (tentatively at the end of March - April).

And then it's time for the rest of the population who are 18 years or older (tentatively April - June).

• When you can get vaccinated depends, among other things, on how many doses of vaccine the Uppsala region receives and when the doses arrive.

• An offer of vaccination had been sent out to approximately 3,500 households in the Uppsala Region (January 28).

In some cases, vaccination is not recommended:

• According to the Medical Products Agency, breastfeeding does not constitute an obstacle to vaccination.

It is unknown if the vaccines are excreted in human milk.

There is no reason to believe that the vaccine will cause any side effects in the breast-fed baby.

But you who are pregnant are not recommended to be vaccinated at the moment.

• Children and adolescents 17 years of age or younger are not recommended to be vaccinated.

Other things that are good to keep an eye on:

• You must not choose the type of vaccine you receive.

You will receive the vaccine that is available at that time.

• The Uppsala Region cooperates with medical travel to make it easier to get to a vaccination room.

• It is free to get vaccinated against the new corona virus.

Two doses are required for good protection.

• There is no queue for doses left over during the day.

Unused doses are primarily given to people in the current phase of vaccination.

• Relatives who live in the same household as a person in the risk group will not be given higher priority.

Only people close to home with home help end up in the same priority group;

thus phase one.
