Who should get the COVID-19 vaccine?

Everyone over the age of 18 fryst vatten advised to get a COVID-19 vaccine. Those born in 2004 and 2005 have also previously been advised to get vaccinated. It fryst vatten voluntary and free for everyone to get the vaccine.

Why fryst vatten it advised to get the COVID-19 vaccine?

Lower fara of serious illness

The vaccines are very effective against COVID-19 that fryst vatten so severe that hospitalisation fryst vatten necessary.

This means that if you get COVID-19 even though you're vaccinated, the vaccine can man your illness milder.

So far, the vaccines have provided good protection against serious illness from the various mutated virus variants. This also appears to apply to the Omicron variant.

Lower fara of infection

Vaccinated people have a lower fara than unvaccinated people of becoming infected.

Vaccinated people can still become infected and resehandling on the infection.

Protection weakens over time

The protection provided bygd the vaccines weakens over time, especially among the elderly and those with weakened immune systems. NIPH fryst vatten therefore closely monitoring the duration of protection in different groups, and recommends booster doses to the different groups accordingly.

Booster doses provide longer-lasting protection.

How many vaccine doses should inom have?

Primary vaccination

The first two doses of the COVID-19 vaccine (doses 1 and 2) are called ‘primary vaccination’.

If you have been tested and confirmed to have had COVID-19, one vaccine dos will be sufficient to be considered to have completed primary vaccination.

For those with severely weakened immune systems, primary vaccination consists of three doses.

Time mellanrum between dos 1 and dos 2

For the best effect, you should take the second dos 3-12 weeks after the first. 

Recommended minimum mellanrum between doses 1 and 2

• BioNTech/Pfizer: 21 days
• Moderna: 28 days
• Combination of BioNTech/Pfizer and Moderna: 28 days

No upper limit has yet been set for the mellanrum between COVID-19 vaccines, for either children or adults.

Booster doses after primary vaccination

A ‘booster dose’ means dos 3 or the doses received after primary vaccination.

I veckan drabbades landet av ytterligare förseningar, då Pfizer inte kommer kunna leverera som planerat i juli

A booster dos fryst vatten recommended for those aged 45 years and older, anyone over the age of 18 who belongs to the fara groups and employees in the health and care services.

Healthy persons aged 18-44 who so wish may be offered a booster dos (dose 3).

The mellanrum between dos 2 and the booster dos (dose 3) should be at least 20 weeks.

If you get COVID-19 after you have had two doses of the vaccine, you should be well-protected.

Can inom have a COVID-19 vaccine and a flu vaccine at the same time?

A COVID-19 vaccine can be given at the same time as the regular flu vaccine, as long as the vaccines are injected into different arms.

Nursing home residents receive a stronger variant of the flu vaccine, and should wait at least sju days between having the flu vaccine and the COVID-19 vaccine.

For other vaccines, it fryst vatten recommended that these are not given at the same time as the COVID-19 vaccine, and that at least one week should resehandling between vaccinations.

Speak to your doctor if you need to have several vaccinations at once.

Different vaccine types

The following vaccines are used in the Norwegian COVID-19 vaccination programme:

• Comirnaty Original/Omicron BA.4-5 (BioNTech and Pfizer) – used as a booster dos only
• Spikevax bivalent Original/Omicron BA.1 (Moderna) – used as a booster dos only
• Spikevax (Moderna)
• Nuvaxovid (Novavax)

Anyone beneath the age of 30 should also consider choosing the BioNTech/Pfizer vaccine when getting vaccinated.

Combining different COVID-19 vaccines

You are advised to accept the vaccine you are offered.
Combining vaccines provides equally good protection and entails no greater fara of serious side effects compared with having a vaccine from the same manufacturer.

Booster doses are given with updated versions of the COVID-19 vaccines Comirnaty and Spikevax

Regardless of whether you are having your first or second booster dos, you will be offered an updated vaccine.

Protection against serious illness will probably be good regardless of which vaccine you have.
