- If you have a case and you find in infection tracking other individuals who are considered high-risk contacts, then you will be offered a vaccine, says Christian Blomkvist, who is an infectious disease doctor at Region Kronoberg.

On July 25, SVT Nyheter Småland reported on the first confirmed case of monkeypox in Kronoberg.

But according to Christian Blomkvist, these four doses of vaccine have no connection to the case.

But the medicine is for preventive purposes and must be given within four days to the person who is in a high-risk situation.
