Healthy individuals aged 65\u201374 are excluded unless regions secure coverage for priority groups. The government argues the cost-effectiveness of broader vaccination is low, citing reduced disease severity and high immunity. Critics, including virologist \u00c5ke Lundkvist, dispute the higher age threshold, saying immunity weakens from 50 onward. Economists also warn that excluding some seniors may raise long-term healthcare costs from post-COVID conditions. In contrast, Denmark, France, Belgium, and the Netherlands still vaccinate all individuals over 60\u201365, while the UK, Norway, and Finland follow Sweden\u2019s stricter approach. The policy reflects Sweden\u2019s growing emphasis on fiscal discipline over precaution, sparking debate about balancing health protection and economic efficiency in pandemic response planning<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”TO BE EDITED – TEXT OF THE NEWS – BLOCK 2 – Click on the WHEEL icon to open the textarea where you can paste or type your news.
