New recommendations for Covid-19 vaccination apply from 1 March 2023 to 29 February 2024.

If you are 80 years or older, or if you live in special housing for the elderly

The recommendation is that you should take two booster doses of vaccine, one this spring and one in the autumn.
Six months must pass before your appointment for the second dose in the autumn.
A letter will be sent home to you with a pre-booked appointment for the two doses. If you live in special housing for the elderly, you will receive your doses at home.

If you are 65–79 years, or if you are 18 years or older and belong to an at-risk group

The recommendation is that you should take one booster dose. Make an appointment ahead of the 2023 autumn and winter season.
If you like, you can be vaccinated twice. Then make an appointment to receive a dose this spring as well. There must be six months between doses.

If you are 50–64 years

The recommendation is that you should take one booster dose. Make an appointment ahead of the 2023 autumn and winter season. At least nine months must have passed since your most recent dose.

If you are 18–49 years

For those aged 18–49 years, there is no recommendation to take a booster dose during the 12-month period.
The recommendation to receive basic vaccination consisting of three doses ceases to apply on 1 March. However, those wishing to take three doses of vaccine will still be able to do so. Possible grounds for doing that include personal reasons such as living close to an older person or a person belonging to an at-risk group.

Were vaccinated less than 7 days ago (does not apply to influenza vaccines for persons older than 18 years).

You can only make an appointment for yourself.
You must bring a valid identification document. If you do not have a Swedish social security number you need a temporary number (reservnummer) or a co-ordination number (samordningsnummer).
Do not come to the clinic unless you are free of cold symptoms. Otherwise change your appointment.
When you are being vaccinated, you must hand in a completed health declaration. Print it out even today, fill it in and bring it with you to your appointment. If you are unable to print the health declaration yourself, we will give you a copy to fill in at the clinic. Please bring your own pen if you can.
Wear easily removable clothes on your upper body so that you can easily have the injection made in your upper arm.
Eat or drink something before your appointment.
