23 Died in Norway after Receiving Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine

Norway, January 16: Twenty-three people died in Norway within days of receiving their first dose of the Pfizer Corona Vaccine.

According to New York Post, 13 of those deceased related to the side effects of the shots and were nursing home patients and at least 80 years old.

Besides those who died, nine had serious side effects — including allergic reactions, strong discomfort, and severe fever — while seven had less serious ones, including severe pain at the injection site.

Common reactions to the vaccine, including fever and nausea, “may have contributed to a fatal outcome in some frail patients,” New York Post quoted Sigurd Hortemo, chief physician at the Norwegian Medicines Agency, as saying in a statement on Friday.

More than 30,000 people in Norway have received the first shot of the Pfizer or Moderna coronavirus vaccine since late last month.

According to Agency’s medical director Steinar Madsen, “It is quite clear that these vaccines have little risk, with a small exception for the frailest patients. Doctors must now carefully consider who should be vaccinated. Those who are very weak and at the very end of life can be vaccinated after an individual assessment,”
