Information about Covid-19 in ukrainian

Vaccination against covid-19

Vaccination protects you and others. Experience has shown that the spread of infection decreases as more and more people are vaccinated. For this reason, vaccination is key to helping stop the pandemic. You do not need to be a Swedish citizen to get free vaccine. People seeking asylum or who are in Sweden without a permit will also be offered free vaccination.
