– I have taken my two doses, and I will of course take my third dose. It is important – first and foremost for society to get rid of this pandemic. But it is also important for myself. I am part of the community service, says the ski star VG and continues:
– But I do not take any dose now before the Olympics. I want to be extra careful with absolutely everything now before the Olympics. I therefore choose to wait with the dose until right after the Olympics, says the 25-year-old.
Before Christmas, all athletes going to the Olympics were offered a booster dose. Some have not had the opportunity due to competitions. Others will not take it for the same reason as Klæbo, while for many it has not been 20 weeks after vaccine number two, medical director Aasne Fenne Hoksrud at the Olympic Summit has stated.
The Swedish biathlete Sebastian Samuelsson stated on Thursday that he has declined the same offer from the Swedish Olympic Committee.
The Olympics start on February 4.
