In total, more than one million people in Sweden have now been vaccinated with one dose.
In Dalarna, 15 percent have received one dose and 7 percent two doses.
- We now see that few people are infected with covid-19 after receiving their second vaccine dose.
This indicates that the vaccines used against covid-19 in Sweden work well, says Anders Lindblom, infection control doctor.

During week 14, everyone between the ages of 70-74 who is registered in Dalarna will also receive a short home in the mailbox with information that it is now possible to book an appointment for vaccination.
This is to ensure that everyone in the group is reached by the information, the region states.
- Even after vaccination, it is important to continue to follow the advice and recommendations that exist to slow down the spread of infection.
The reason is that in rare cases you can become infected despite being vaccinated and it is still unclear whether you as a vaccinated person can spread the disease further, says Anders Lindblom.
People who are 75 years and older are called for vaccination against covid-19 by phone or letter.
Those who cannot book via the e-services will be helped to book by telephone support.
The region emphasizes that waiting time can occur in telephone support if there are many who want to book in at the same time.
