One who has yet to decide what to do is Emma Gidlund.
– It’s kind of scary if it comes out too fast, I think about the side effects and things like that, so I really don’t know. Once it’s out, you need to consider whether you think it’s something for you too, he says.
One waiting for a vaccine is Gunilla Storch.
– I’m looking forward to that. It’s the only way we older people can go out and do what we usually do, he says.
Gunilla Storch is not just to want to be vaccinated against covid-19. In September, 59 percent said they were willing to do so, but this is down from May, when 65 percent said the same. This is demonstrated by a still unpublished study from the University of Södertörn that is part of a European research project. Fredrik Stiernstedt is one of the researchers on the study.
– What surprised us a bit is that the propensity to vaccinate is not very high in Sweden, it is among the lowest in Europe when compared to the European countries included in this study, he says.
Almost a fifth, 19 percent, strongly say not to be vaccinated against covid-19.
– That is why you do not believe that the disease is dangerous for me, or that you believe that the vaccine will not be safe or that the vaccine will have serious side effects, says Fredrik Stiernstedt.
Just worry about the side effects is the most common reason for not wanting to get vaccinated against covid-19 and this, researchers believe, is due to the side effects of the swine flu vaccine, since around 450 children and young people suffered from narcolepsy, it is fresh in the memory of many.
According to state epidemiologist Anders Tegnell, it is too early to speculate on a possible vaccine, but he also says it will never be possible to detect all the side effects.
– These vaccines will be tested like all the other new vaccines we introduce and will be tested at a level where we detect the most serious side effects. It will not detect all the side effects, for so many people it can never be tested, but therefore it is important that you have a good system to see it as soon as possible and we have it today, we did not have it so good last time. says Anders Tegnell.
