In the wake of the incident, Pfizer has decided to reduce its vaccine supply across Europe after citizens sounded the alarm in Norway.
The Norwegian Institute of Public Health said the reduction
The Norwegian Institute of Public Health has issued a warning against the inoculation of senior citizens who are above 80 years.
More than 30,000 people have received the first shot of the Pfizer or Moderna COVID-19 vaccines in the country since the end of December.
A representative of Pfizer said the pharmaceutical firm is “aware of reported deaths” in the wake of the inoculation in Norway and is working with the Norwegian Medicines Agency to gather all the relevant information.
“Norwegian authorities have prioritized the immunization of residents in nursing homes, most of whom are very elderly with underlying medical conditions and some which are terminally ill,” Pfizer said in a statement. “[The Norwegian Medicine Agency confirms] the number of incidents so far is not alarming, and in line with expectations.”
