-As the delivery forecast looks today, everyone over 18 should be able to have their first dose of the vaccine at the latest by August 15- Marie Morell, health care chief of the Swedish Association of Local Authorities and Regions told reporters at a news conference.
Health Minister Lena Hallengren said the delay was due to a shortage of vaccines and changes in recommendations over how the vaccines are used.
