Here is the latest information on how to book your Covid-19 booster vaccine in each of Sweden's 21 regions.

To find out exactly what applies to you, we also recommend checking on the website of your region on 1177.se (find links below).

Please note that people in many regions experienced difficulties booking their first vaccines via phone lines and via 1177.se or apps, so it is possible that you may come across difficulties booking your booster.

You cannot book a vaccine appointment by calling 1177. High demand might mean phone lines are busy with long waiting times, or that online booking options crash. If that happens to you, the best advice is to keep trying, especially in the morning when new times are often released – several readers have reported successfully booking their appointment after multiple tries.
