The Norrbotten region opened fourteen clinics for vaccination against dovid-19 in Norrbotten on Saturday and many took the chance when they did not have to book an appointment, but could only drop in.

"Luleå and Kiruna the best"

And two out of three of the 1,681 who came received their first doses.

In addition, 317 people received their third dose of vaccine against covid-19 and more than half of them could be counted in Kiruna (116) and in Pajala (80)

Luleå topped the vaccine list on Saturday with 466 people, followed by Kiruna with 211 people and Piteå with 151 people.

"Every vaccination is a victory"

- Even though fewer people have appeared in some of the smaller municipalities, we are very happy about every single person who has been vaccinated.

It helps keep the infection down and it is a victory.

We are very pleased with the outcome and how smoothly it has worked around the county, says vaccine coordinator Pia Näsvall.

In addition to the covid vaccine, 169 doses were also given for seasonal flu.
