- We were about to invite 75 plus, but have had to pause it after what happened with the Astra Zeneca vaccine.
In the region, we have decided that we will pause the vaccination of healthcare staff in phase 2 in order to use the available vaccine for the elderly instead, says Lena Andersson Nazzal vaccine coordinator.
This means that healthcare professionals will not be vaccinated next week.
However, Pfizer's vaccine will be delivered next week, which can be used for the following week.
Uncertain about continued Astra vaccination
Those who are vaccinated next week, ie people over the age of 80, receive a modern and pfizer vaccine.
When and if the vaccination of Astra Zeneca's vaccine can continue, the Region is awaiting information from the Swedish Public Health Agency.
Unclear about new age groups
When the vaccine invitation to people over the age of 75 can be sent out is unclear.
- We had a plan to invite them, but now it is unclear whether we will do it now or wait another week.
It depends on the availability of vaccine.
I have no information today, we will take a position on this, says Lena Andersson Nazzal.
In the clip above, you can hear what the vaccine coordinator says about a concern that exists for Astra Zeneca's vaccine.
Can the Kronobergs say no to that vaccine?
