It all started with Citysjukhuset on its website on Wednesday saying that everyone over the age of 18 was welcome to be vaccinated with Astra's vaccine.

But the announcement was a mistake, as the recommendations say that no one under the age of 65 should be given Astra's vaccine.

This is due to a very small risk of serious side effects.

After a while, the message was therefore deleted.

It returned, but was removed again.

SVT Nyheter Väst has previously written about this.

Multiple bookings

Martin Grill, 58, was one of those vaccinated on Friday with Astra Zeneca's vaccine - although this should not be given to people under 65.

A number of people had time to book before the error was discovered.

These were notified via text message of what had happened, and according to the hospital, most then canceled their time.

But some, it is unclear how many, went to City Hospital today to still be vaccinated.

They then received Astra's vaccine - contrary to the recommendations.

- It went very well, says Martin Grill, 58, who is a reporter for SVT Nyheter Väst - and one of those who was vaccinated on Friday.

He estimates that about twenty people were there to be vaccinated at about the same time as him.

Lill Nordkvist, operations manager at Citysjukhuset, tells SVT Nyheter Väst that the patients themselves had to decide whether they wanted the vaccine or not.

- It is up to everyone if you want to take it on their responsibility.

And we have a whole hospital corps that has been vaccinated with Astra and we have not gotten bad.

I have not heard that it is forbidden.

You have made a big hen out of a small feather, she thinks.

Serious departure

But the Västra Götaland region's vaccination coordinator Kristine Rygge does not take what happened as easily.

- I have said that we take very seriously the departure from the recommendations from the Public Health Agency and VGR.

It is important that you can feel safe with the vaccine you receive.

According to her, that decision cannot be left to the patients.

- No, we have been very clear that you are not allowed to choose a vaccine.

This also applies here.

Lill Nordkvist says that Citysjukhuset's vaccine doses are now over.
