STOCKHOLM (Reuters) -Sweden said on Friday it would take three weeks longer then expected to offer all adults their first COVID-19 shot after it decided not to use the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.<\/p>

The decision meant there were currently not enough supplies of other vaccines in the country to meet the official mid-August target so authorities would now aim for Sept. 5, health minister Lena Hallengren said.<\/p>\n

Sweden\u2019s health authority this month said under-65s should not get the Johnson & Johnson shot following reports of extremely rare blood clots. It gave the all clear for over-65s, but said they were already covered by other vaccines.<\/p>\n

Sweden had now told the European Union it did not need any deliveries of the Johnson & Johnson shot, the country\u2019s vaccine coordinator, Richard Bergstrom, said at a press conference with the minister.<\/p>\n

Sweden, which has shunned lockdowns throughout the pandemic, registered 7,158 new COVID-19 cases on Thursday, health agency statistics showed, bringing the total number of cases to 967,678.<\/p>\n

The country of 10 million inhabitants registered 46 new deaths on Friday, taking the total to 14,048.<\/p>\n

With the spread of the virus still high and the healthcare system under severe pressure, Hallengren urged Swedes to follow voluntary guidelines on social distancing.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe spread must come down now,\u201d she told a news conference.<\/p>\n

Despite that, the government said it hoped to ease restrictions on some outdoor sporting and cultural events from May 17, if spectators can sit and maintain social distancing.<\/p>\n

The new rules would allow up to 500 spectators at football matches, outdoor concerts and similar events.<\/p>\n

However, the government said the number of new infections would have to come down further if restrictions were to be eased.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt would require a considerably better situation regarding infections than we have today,\u201d Hallengren told Swedish radio.<\/p>\n
