Vaccinerna ger fortfarande ett bra skydd mot allvarliga symtom. Det är viktigt att man själv ser till att förebygga smitta.

  19. 19.5.2022 | I början av år 2022 spred sig covid-19 också i stor utsträckning bland den äldre befolkningen. Detta ledde till att dödligheten inom 30 dygn från covid-19-smittan ökade, men vid månadsskiftet april-maj började den tydligt sjunka igen. Trots det höga antalet smittfall har dödligheten bland de som fått tre vaccindoser hållits på en klart lägre nivå jämfört med den övriga befolkningen. Över hälften av befolkningen över 80 år har fått den fjärde vaccindosen.
