People over the age of 80 and people over the age of 65 who need home care or other care are recommended to take a new vaccine shot against covid-19. This is what state epidemiologist Magnus Gisslén tells P4 Extra.

In April, the vaccinations start again.

– These groups need two doses per year to have good protection. Last spring, only people over 80 were recommended. Now there are a little more because we have seen an increased risk, says Gisslén to the radio.
