Summer with fewer restrictions means that significantly more people travel abroad this summer compared to last year.
Many destinations also require a vaccination pass.
During the summer, the number of vaccinations has been around a thousand a week, which is more than the region had expected.
- We had thought there would be fewer.
Among other things, we see that younger adults choose to take a new dose.
It could be because you want to go out and travel.
In some countries, proof of vaccination is required to be able to go to restaurants, for example, says Erik Fredholm.
Many young people are vaccinated
In some weeks, the target group under the age of 30 accounted for almost half of all vaccinations according to Erik Fredholm.
- We have therefore had to order in more of Pfizer's vaccines that are given to people under 30 because there were more vaccinations than we thought, he says.

This is what the spread of infection looks like
The increased spread of infection in society is also believed to be behind many choosing to take their top-up doses.
During last week 29, 387 new cases of covid-19 were confirmed in the county, an increase of 66 people compared to the week before
- We follow the development closely and there are most cases among young people between the ages of 20 and 29 and in the target group 50 to 59 years.
We have increased sampling among certain groups within care and social care.
It has become more complex to follow the infection situation because only certain groups are sampled.
But it is very important not only to check the number of cases, but also how many become seriously ill and need intensive care, says Lisa Vennberg, assistant infectious disease doctor.
At the moment, ten people in the county are being treated in hospital with covid-19 as the main diagnosis, none of whom are in the intensive care unit.
