Sweden’s government is recommending a fifth dose of COVID-19 vaccine for people aged 65 and over, and at-risk groups that are under 65, which includes those who are immunocompromised and pregnant women, authorities said on May 24.
At-risk groups under 65 also include people with heart and lung disease, the Swedish Public Health Agency noted.
The agency said its fifth dose—or third booster dose—will be available starting Sept. 1.
“In Sweden, we need to be prepared for an increased spread during the coming autumn and winter season,” the agency said in an announcement.
