– As we have had delays in deliveries, we expect to be ready in mid-July, not mid-summer. But these are preliminary evaluations, the regional adviser for development of care, Désirée Pethrus (KD) told the newspaper.

Stockholm is still in the first phase of vaccination. In mid-March, phase two is expected to begin, which includes people over 65 and at-risk groups.

According to Désirée Pethrus, the plan is to start phase three, so that everyone over 60 is vaccinated, in April. In May, phase four will continue, when a vaccine will be offered to the general public. But he emphasizes that it all depends on vaccine deliveries.

Last Friday, the region’s vaccine coordinator, Magnus Thyberg, warned about the vaccine shortage. You can watch the interview with him below.
