AstraZeneca's vaccine is now also being recommended for the elderly

The Public Health Agency of Sweden is changing its previous recommendation regarding AstraZeneca's vaccine against Covid-19. The vaccine is now also being recommended for people above the age of 65.

Previously, the vaccine was only recommended for people under the age of 65, as there was no data regarding how effective the vaccine is in protecting older people against becoming severely ill from COVID-19.

New studies conducted in the UK show that AstraZeneca's vaccine also provides good protection for people above the age of 80, and thus the Public Health Agency of Sweden is now changing its recommendation.
