The Public Health Agency of Sweden is responsible for the National vaccination register and for monitoring vaccination coverage.

In Sweden, children are offered protection against eleven diseases through the national vaccination programme for children. The vaccination programme for persons at risk includes vaccinations against pneumococcal infections.

On this page you find a table showing how the Swedish vaccination programme for children has evolved over the years.

Recommendations for vaccination aim towards protecting children and adults with an increased risk of becoming infected or of becoming severely ill following an infection. The regions can choose whether or not to implement the recommendations, and if the individual has to pay for the vaccination or not.
