How to book an appointment

Go to 1177.se to the specific booking page for the covid vaccinations in Skåne.

You should not log on to 1177 to make an appointment for a vaccine.

You will find the links on that page to the vaccine companies that are currently vaccinating in Skåne. You book an appointment on their website.

You need to provide a social security number to make a booking so that the people giving vaccines can see that you are the right age, i.e. 50 to 59 years old.

And you must have an email address where you can get the confirmation.

From 1st October vaccinations will be carried out at health care centres.

– Most people have been vaccinated. But there are some people who don't know how to make an appointment to be vaccinated, a lot are afraid and worried, or they haven't made up their mind whether to be vaccinated or not, she says.

So a group of health informers are going round to different places in Skåne to give information in different languages. The project started on 8th July and will go on for three months.

On 6th September the group will be at Österäng between 1 and 4 pm. Then you can find answers to your questions about vaccination and get help in making an appointment.
