At the end of May, the mass vaccination against covid-19 will enter the last phase - then everyone over the age of 18 will be able to get vaccinated.
- We hope to be able to start phase 4 in a few weeks.
But it all depends on how fast we vaccinate phase 3 and on the vaccine supply, says Jonas Ekström.
What will be the challenge with phase 4?
- We believe that demand will be very high in the beginning.
But towards the end, we will have another challenge and that is to get those who have not been vaccinated to rethink and book in.
We must be able to help inform so that everyone can make an informed decision.
Do you have to get vaccinated in your own municipality?
- No, it is possible to get vaccinated anywhere.
A little tip is to book a vaccine in Kungsör - there are usually free times.
Will it be possible to choose a vaccine?
- Not really as we can never say with certainty what the availability of the various vaccines looks like at the moment.
On the other hand, you already see when booking on 1177.se which vaccine you are provisionally booked in for and that is all right most of the time.
Will you need to be vaccinated every year to maintain protection?
- It's a hard question.
But there is much to suggest that one will need to give some kind of supplemental dose, at least to a part of the population.
How should you think about taking another vaccine in the spring as well?
- Then we want it to have been at least a week between vaccinations.
When will the pandemic end?
- It is very difficult to say.
The most dramatic effects should be reduced quite considerably when we have had time to vaccinate a large part of the population.
So during the autumn, the number of people who die from the disease will be very low, but that presupposes that you get vaccinated.
In the clip, the vaccine coordinator Jonas Ekström talks about the challenge of reaching everyone and whether a vaccinated person can infect others.
