You can book vaccination appointments via 1177 and vaccination companies

On Monday 17th May, covid-19 vaccinations for people aged 50-59 will start in Skåne. But vaccine deliveries may take a few days in the areas that are first.

The pressure is great and there are many questions. This is especially noticeable at Svea Vaccine in Kristianstad. They will start vaccinating in Kristianstad Arena.

People in Skåne can book an appointment on the Healthcare helpline 1177.se. There you will be able to search for areas where you can get vaccinated, or choose one of the 16 vaccine companies that Region Skåne has an agreement with.

– If everything goes according to plan, you will be able to start booking appointments on Monday (17/5). We start vaccinating on Thursday (20/5), says Evelina Helgesson, Nurse and Responsible Supervisor for covid vaccinations at Svea Vaccine in Kristianstad.

It is important to think about where and when to book your first dose.

– Dose 2 should be taken at the same place. Ask yourself what you will be doing in ten weeks. If you’re on holiday and are away, then it is better to wait for your first dose. You can’t postpone your second vaccine dose. It is important to be fully vaccinated, says Kristin Juneberg.

– It is every citizen's responsibility not to book several appointments, says Kristin Juneberg.

Evelina Helgesson at Svea Vaccin emphasises that only those between the ages of 50 and 59 can book an appointment in the first weeks, i.e. before the mass vaccination is underway throughout Skåne during week 23.
