Some pregnant women may be included in the vaccination phase 3, according to state epidemiologist Anders Tegnell.
This applies to pregnant women with risk factors such as cardiovascular disease, age and obesity.
30-year-old Anna Östlund had hoped to be vaccinated as pregnant women who get covid-19 have an increased risk of giving birth prematurely.
- It feels very uncomfortable to have to give birth too early so we have been very careful, says Anna Östlund.
General vaccination of pregnant women may be necessary
According to the Swedish Public Health Agency, a general vaccination of pregnant women may be necessary, but it will not take place until phase 4 at the earliest.
At the same time, Anna Östlund hopes that she will be vaccinated as soon as possible.
- As soon as they recommend it and as soon as I get the opportunity to book an appointment, I will take it.
