You can book an appointment for your vaccination against Covid-19, or with the help of a relative/friend, by clicking on the link to the unit where you want to be vaccinated under the heading "Vaccination units". You will not need an e-identification. It is important that 3 months have passed since you received dose
2, before you will be able to take dose 3.

Via the app "My Vaccine"

You can also download the app "My vaccine" for Android or Iphone iOS where apps are available. You log in with an e-identification to handle your booking. To use the app MittVaccin, the following requirements apply to the smartphone that
you are using:

When you book, via the web or app:

• You state the purpose of your visit. There is a
  special choice for you who are under the age
  of 18 years.
• You who are under the age of 18 years need
  to state whether you have the consent of
  your custodial parent. You do mark it in the
  field “type of visit”.

You who are 12 years or older you can book an appointment for vaccination. Times for an appointment are available on an ongoing basis at the various vaccination units.

Consent or assessment

You who are 12-17 years old can be vaccinated if you have the consent of your parents or another guardian, or if the care staff acess that you are mature enough to decide to have your vaccination.

You will indicate if you have the consent of the custodial parent when you book your time. Eventual assessment is made by staff at the vaccination unit. For consent, you will have to fill out a form which must be signed by parents or another guardian, and which you will bring with you to the vaccination. It can also be done on site.

You can pick up the form at a vaccination unit. Bring identification card to the vaccination room if your custodial parent can not accompany you and certify your identity.

If you lack a personal identity number or have a reserve number (temporary medical number), you cannot make an appointment for vaccination online. Instead, call the telephone support directly, 0611-804 00, Monday-Friday 8am-6pm.

If you have previously had a severe allergic reaction and needed to seek
emergency care, you should contact your health/health care center before you
receive your vaccine against covid-19. You do this to get advice and an
assessment of whether you can take your vaccine dose at the regular vaccination
room or if you need an extended time of monitoring.
A severe allergic reaction usually occurs very quickly, within 30 minutes, after you
have been exposed to what you are allergic to.

The reactions can be for example:

• respiratory distress
• nausea and vomiting
• strong palpitations
• fainting
• The reaction is then so severe that you seek care by calling 112.

The reaction is then so severe that one will have to seek care in an emergency room or go directly to your health/health care center.

Have you previously had a severe allergic reaction and had to seek emergency care? Then you should contact your health or medical center for advice before you book your appointment for vaccination. It is important that you are given an
assessment of how to receive your vaccine in a safely manner.

If the health center assesses that you can be vaccinated in the regular flow, you can book an appointment and answer”No” to the question in the health declarationom that you have had a severe allergic reaction.

If the health-care center comes to the conclusion that vaccination must take place with increased supervision, the health/health care center will submit a referral so that you will be vaccinated at one of the county's hospitals. You will then be called for vaccination.

If you are taking blood-thinning medicines, see the information:

This applies to you who use medicines of the type:

Waran, Warfarin, Eliquis, Pradaxa, Lixiana, Xarelto, Fragmin, Inohep or Heparin. If you are taking other types of blood thinners you can be vaccinated regardless of when you take your medicine

If you use Waran or Warfarin:

• If PK-INR is stable with control intervals longer than 4 weeks you can be vaccinated without special control.
• If your control interval is shorter than four weeks, you must notify the AK clinic of the vaccination date for control of the PK-INR value in the same way as routine when planning for other procedures.
• If you use Waran or Warfarin with other blood-thinning drugs such as platelet inhibitors (eg acetylsalicylic acid, clopidogrel, ticagrelor), notify the AK clinic of the date of vaccination to check the PK-INR value in the same way as routine planning for other procedures.

If you use Eliquis and Pradaxa:

• Skip the morning dose of anticoagulant vaccination day and take the evening dose at least 2 hours after vaccination.

If you use Lixiana, Xarelto, Fragmin or Inohep:

• Take the tablet / injection of anticoagulants 2 hours after vaccination.

Other blood-thinning medicine:
