Alex, 17, one of the first in the target group to get vaccinated in Västmanland

Already after the first day, 800 people in the group 16 to 17 years had booked an appointment for vaccination against covid-19 in Västmanland.

- This is a great opportunity for both the young people themselves and society at large, says Anders Krifors, infection doctor, Region Västmanland.
