This is what Sweden’s vaccine coordinator Richard Bergstrøm says TV 2.
Bergstrøm tells TV 2 that Norway can receive 15 percent more doses than expected in July, and in August deliveries can increase by as much as 30 percent.
Have faith in several July reliefs
In addition
This amounts to a total of 600,000 extra doses, compared to the original estimate from FHI, the channel writes.
– Much of the reason for this is that several European countries do not need more doses, either because they have come a long way in vaccination, or because the population is skeptical of the vaccine and will not take it, says the Swedish vaccine coordinator, who also secures Norway’s deliveries.
The doses Bergstrøm is talking about are in addition to the deliveries of an additional 600,000 Moderna doses, which became known last week.
200,000 of them will arrive in July, while 392,000 are expected to be delivered in August.

Fully vaccinated in October
It is not known what effect today’s vaccine news will have on FHI’s vaccine scenario.
According to FHI’s latest forecasts, it is expected that everyone over the age of 18 will have been offered the first dose during weeks 31 to 32. For dose two, hope is by the end of week 42.
