And today Sweden receives 9,750 doses of the vaccine in a first delivery and in some regions vaccination begins already on Sunday. Thereafter, deliveries of the order of 80,000 doses per week to Sweden await.
The first doses in Sweden should be offered to people living in special homes for the elderly or people who have home care. It will also offer to strengthen domestic contacts with these people, as well as with the staff.
