The country’s health officials say they’re “not alarmed by this” – but have quickly moved to change their advice on the jab.
Twenty-three elderly Norwegians died within days of receiving the first dose of the COVID vaccine, local health officials say.
The Norwegian Medicines Agencys chief physician Sigurd Hortemo said common reactions to the vaccine, including fever and nausea, may have contributed to the fatal outcome in some frail patients.
Thirteen of the 23 deaths were in nursing home patients. All were at least 80 years old.
Officials say theyre not concerned about the safety of the vaccine.
