– It feels great. It’s great fun that we have the vaccine in Sweden now and that we can see it coming out very soon to the most fragile in our region, says Kristine Rygge, vaccine coordinator at VGR, to P4.
A total of 22,000 people live in special housing in VGR. Each person will be offered two doses at three week intervals.
