- We are in a very good position when it comes to vaccinations.

That is why we want to release the last group right now.

But before that, those born in 1991 and earlier have the opportunity to book the new times, says vaccine coordinator Marie Ragnarsson in a press release.

Opens earlier

The plan has been to release the last group - 18-29-year-olds - only at the end of July or the beginning of August.

But as almost half of the county's population over the age of 18 has been vaccinated, the decision has been made to open up to this group as well.

- It is very positive that we have reached this far so quickly. It is now being planned at national level for how the vaccinations will take place for 16- and 17-year-olds. In Kalmar County, there are 5,000 young people who will be offered vaccination.
