Will 50 year-olds be vaccinated by May Day?
The daily Helsingin Sanomat asks that question and answers that at least in the Helsinki region, it is increasingly unlikely, as the supply of various vaccines to Finland may slow down the pace of vaccination.
The delivery of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine to Europe has been postponed due to suspected blood clots. In addition, on Wednesday, health officials announced that the target group for the AstraZeneca vaccine, people 65 years of age and older, will remain the same.
Eeva Ruotsalainen, Deputy Chief Physician at Helsinki University Hospital told the paper that according to the original plan, it had been estimated that everyone over the age of 16 would have been vaccinated by no later than July.
