The number of cases of covid-19 is increasing again.
But what to think about when the infection spreads?
Ask your questions to Magnus Gisslén, state epidemiologist and professor of infectious diseases at Sahlgrenska Academy.
Hello again!
One more question:
How long should you wait before you can take the next dose of vaccine after testing positive for covid?

If you had verified covid after 1 August and are under 80 years of age, you can skip the autumn vaccine dose unless you have a weakened immune system

How do you know for sure that you have Covid?

You can only know that if you take a test, PCR or antigen test. But it usually doesn’t matter and we don’t recommend general testing

Had a cold a week ago with fever, headache and cough. Didn’t do a covid test. Tomorrow I have an appointment for the covid vaccine.
Is it inappropriate to vaccinate so early after the cold?
Thanks in advance!

Hi, if you belong to a group that is recommended vaccines, I think you should take your dose. There is no danger even if you had covid. If, on the other hand, you have had a confirmed covid, you can wait with vaccination
