Access to vaccinations is an important part of public health, and soon it will be even easier for the residents of Växjö to protect themselves against diseases. In the spring of 2026—specifically on April 23—VaccinDirekt will open a new vaccination clinic at Grand Samarkand, making it easier for more people to access vaccinations and medical advice. VaccinDirekt will open in the former Life premises.
– Our presence at Grand Samarkand is an important step in our efforts to make vaccination more accessible. By being where people already are, we can lower barriers and offer vaccines, counseling, and preventive measures to more people. This strengthens protection against infectious diseases, especially ahead of tick season when the need for TBE vaccination increases,” saysJohan Gertell, CCO at VaccinDirekt.
VaccinDirekt specializes in preventive healthcare, and the new clinic will offer a wide range of vaccinations for both children and adults, as well as health checkups and medical certificates. The opening is fully in line with their focus on accessibility and expertise, as all clinics are staffed by licensed nurses and doctors to ensure safety and quality. Locating the vaccination clinic in an easily accessible area is particularly valuable for older adults and those in high-risk groups, who may need regular vaccinations and health checkups. With ample parking and proximity to other services, it will be easier for people to prioritize their health.
Right now, the need for protection against tick-borne diseases, such as TBE, is particularly high ahead of the upcoming season. All VaccinDirekt clinics are staffed by licensed nurses and doctors to ensure safety and quality.
– Today, our visitors expect to be able to take care of several errands in one place, without having to go out of their way. The fact that VaccinDirekt is setting up shop here strengthens Grand Samarkand’s position as a place where people can shop, run errands, and get important things done all at once in a convenient way. “It’s a welcome addition that makes everyday life easier for our customers, ” says Lovisa Hegborn, center manager at Grand Samarkand.
VaccinDirekt has over 50 years of experience in vaccinations and currently operates more than 50 clinics throughout the Nordic region, as well as more than 200 vaccination sites via its “tick buses.” The new clinic in Växjö is one of several planned initiatives to improve access to vaccinations throughout the country. During its first month, the new clinic is offering a 15 percent discount on all vaccines.
