STOCKHOLM (Reuters) – Sweden will offer additional groups, including people aged 80 and above, to top up their COVID-19 vaccinations with a third dose, the Nordic country’s health minister said on Tuesday.

“Those with the greatest need will, as before, come first,” she told a news conference.
Sweden will remove most remaining pandemic restrictions and recommendations later this week.
