- I think we have received a pretty good response from that age group.
About 40 percent have booked or been vaccinated, says Gun Lindgren, operations manager for Region Östergötland's vaccination centers.
There are approximately 10,000 people in the current age category in the county.
That Linköping started only today is due to the fact that the vaccination center was closed this weekend.
Will vaccinations then continue downwards with age?
- We already vaccinate children in the risk group down to 12 years.
Otherwise, we have no message from the Public Health Agency regarding the younger ones.
Want to reach out to the young adults
By the way, how are you?
- Just over 80 percent of Östergötlanders have received dose 1. But we would like to see those aged 18–29 sign up to a greater degree.
In the group of 18–24-year-olds, 37 percent are missing, and we would like to reach them.
Lindgren also says that there are quite a lot of free vaccination times, and that they want more people from the region to take the syringes.
- We would also like to see more employees who help, he says.
