According to Bergström, the first delivery will amount to approximately 68,000 doses.
- Then it is gradually stepped up, he says to Aftonbladet.
Before the end of June, Janssen will have delivered around 1.2 million doses to Sweden.
"Full trust in Janssen"
Richard Bergström further states that he has "full confidence" in Janssen's vaccine.
- It is a typical pandemic vaccine where you have invested in a dose.
In addition, studies have shown that it is effective against severe illness and death when it comes to the South African variant, he says.
The European Medicines Agency (EMA) announced on Monday that it has now approved Janssen's vaccine for use in the EU. However, Richard Bergström does not want to discuss whether the deliveries of the Dutch vaccine will affect the government's vaccine target, but insists that 5 million Swedes will be fully vaccinated by the end of the first half of the year, something he stated to SVT on Sunday.
