General information about vaccination against COVID-19

Students at University of Gävle can be vaccinated against COVID-19 free of charge by the Gävleborg Region.

This applies both for students who are unvaccinated and for those who have received dose 1 in their home country. Here in Sweden, we offer MRNA vaccines: Comirnaty (Pfizer) and Spikevax (Moderna).

There are two ways to book your vaccination

Book an appointment via 026-15 03 00. The support provides booking service in English.
Visit the drop-in service. No advance booking is required. Drop-in opening hours and places are listed at 1177.se/Gavleborg. Bring proof of identity, such as your passport.

If you have been given a dose of vaccine

You will need to certify that you have been given one dose and which type of vaccine that was used. The healthcare services will check whether the vaccine is approved by the WHO.

If you have been vaccinated with a vaccine that is not approved by the WHO, an individual assessment will be made.

Vaccination certificate

When you have been vaccinated by the Gävleborg Region, you can obtain a vaccination certificate in a paper version. No digital vaccination certificate can be issued for individuals from countries other than Sweden.
