More and more vaccinations since health centres took over responsibility

At Charlottesborg only 61 per cent have had their first covid-19 vaccination, at Gamlegården the figure is 62-63 per cent. But since health centres took over the responsibility the proportion has gone up.
– In our district there has been a big increase in the number of vaccinations, says Linda Björklund, manager at Näsby health centre.

More and more are falling victim to covid-19 and the number of hospital admissions is increasing. At the same time, in some places fewer people have been vaccinated, and this also applies to people not born in Sweden.

The vaccination rate has gone up since health centres took over the responsibility from private actors.

”For me it's also important to offer a drop-in service too”
Linda Björklund, manager at Näsby health centre
Drop-in vaccination will be available at Stora Torg in Kristianstad on 28th November from 11 am till 3 pm. Staff who speak several languages will be there. Drop-in vaccination outside Gamlegården shopping centre (photo) has been a big success.

Ali Yasir Ahudi was one of the ones who got his jab at a drop-in session at Gamlegården. ”Perfect, finding an appointment when you're at school can be difficult”, he said.

– But we're still working hard at Vilan to increase the number of people vaccinated at Charlottesborg. There are fewer there who take their jab, says Kristina Särne, manager at Vilan health centre.

In Skåne as a whole 90 or more per cent of the over-60s have had two doses of vaccine. In the 18-39 age-group the figure is 65-69 per cent.

At Charlottesborg the figure is even lower. On 11th November only 61 per cent had had their first dose.

– We've made a directed drive in our area by twice having drop-in vaccination at Erikshjälpen and on 1st December we plan to be at Charlottesborg.

– Our staff are doing a great job, both with vaccination and with information to our patients about the importance of getting vaccinated, to increase vaccination coverage.

Näsby health care was very succesful in getting older people to get vaccinated. Private acters took over vaccinations of younger people but now health centres have taken over responsibility for all vaccinations. ”We've stood outside Coop where everyone could just pop in. It's a good way to get more people to get vaccinated, could just stop by. I’ts a good way to get more people to get vaccinated”, says Linda Björklund, manager at Näsby health centre.

Linda Björklund, manager at Näsby health centre, agrees.

– Our area has stepped up coverage considerably since we were given the job instead of giving it to private actors.

– I've raised the question of how we should work in the future to reach as many as possible with information about the importance of getting vaccinated. 1177 is one way to go, but for me it's also important to offer a drop-in service too. We've stood outside Coop where everyone could just pop in. It's a good way to get more people to get vaccinated, she says.
