VaccinesArchitect of Sweden's Coronavirus Plan Warns U.K. Not to Hold Out for A Vaccine

Published 2 June 2020

Waiting for a coronavirus vaccine is a risky strategy, the architect of Sweden’s Covid-19 plan has warned, saying measures that are “sustainable and can be kept going for a long time” must be put in place to protect the public. Hannah Boland writes in The Telegraph that Anders Tegnell, Sweden’s chief epidemiologist who was responsible for the country’s decision to keep its economy open and avoid a lockdown, told The Telegraph: “A lot of people claim that the Swedish strategy is very risky, but I would say that putting so much faith in a vaccine is also quite risky.”
