Vaccination to commence in municipality on Wednesday
First in line will be the retirement homes Lagunen and Korsvångsgården where both residents and staff will be vaccinated during the week. This was confirmed by the Municipality's Department Manager Annelie Arnell.
– We received 200 doses, which was less than what we applied for, she says. We will start with Lagunen and Korsvångsgården.
The vaccine is taken in two batches, four weeks apart.
– After both treatments, the patient has achieved immunity to the virus, says Annelie Arnell. We have not been told exactly how long that immunity lasts.
The plan is to also be able to vaccinate staff and residents at Brogården the following week when the municipality will be assigned a new delivery of vaccine doses.
