We advise you to take part of the entire recommendations available at Folkhälsomyndighetens website. The recommendations are valid from October 15th of 2024.

Summary of recommendations:

• For everyone aged 65 and older: covid-19 vaccination is recommended.

• For individuals aged 18 and over in risk groups: covid-19 vaccination is recommended.

• For pregnant individuals: Vaccination is recommended after week 12 of pregnancy. If you belong to a risk group, contact your maternity care centre regarding the possibility of earlier vaccination.

• For children and adolescents under 18 with an increased risk of severe infection: Vaccination can be offered based on a medical assessment and prescription.

For individuals not in a risk group, there is no specific recommendation for covid-19 vaccination. However, if you would still like to be vaccinated, you can contact your healthcare center.

Vaccination is not advised if any of the following apply to you:

If any of these apply to you, consult the healthcare center you are registered with or your healthcare provider. In some cases, a referral to a specialised hospital clinic for vaccination may be necessary.
