Young people whose immune system is compromised and young people with a neurological disorder that affects breathing are vaccinated in the hospital. It is expected that this group will be vaccinated in three weeks, they will receive the invitation through their specialist. People are asked not to contact the hospital themselves, but to wait for the invitation. The young people from this group who are not mobile are vaccinated at home by a mobile vaccination team.
