The region's vaccination coordinator Kristine Rygge tells SVT that those who preceded the queue will receive a dose two after four weeks.
Even if it means that more fragile people who are more in need can then have to wait even longer.
This priority is now criticized by professor and chief physician Ingmar Skoog.
- If you can wait with it (to give dose two, red note) then you should let the priority groups get their vaccine first.
Because already at the first dose you have a reduced risk of getting a serious illness, and the priority groups have an increased risk of getting a serious illness, says Ingmar Skoog.
Expresses surprise
- Therefore, it is important both for the individuals but also for society that they get their first dose as quickly as possible.
Ingmar Skoog says that it is important for the individuals and for society as a whole that the priority groups receive the vaccine first.
And he is amazed at how many people under the age of 70 have already been vaccinated.
- I am also surprised that managers in healthcare do not realize that if they go before the queue, it sends out signals that will be perceived very negatively, he says.
