Norway has released a warning story for elderly and terminally ill people who receive the coronavirus vaccine after 23 people have died in the countries shortly after receiving a vaccine.
“For the most fragile people, even relatively mild side effects can have serious consequences,” warned the Norwegian Institute of Public Health. “For those who have a very short remaining lifespan anyway, the benefit of the vaccine may be marginal or irrelevant.”

Of the 23 deaths, 13 were autopsies in which it was revealed that common side effects may have contributed to reactions in vulnerable and elderly people, the Norwegian Medicines Agency reported.
The warning, Norwegian officials said, does not mean that the elderly or the younger generation should avoid getting the vaccine. It is simply a matter of expressing their concern and sounding a warning sound so that sick and vulnerable people should exercise caution when being vaccinated against the deadly virus.

In initial surveys, it was revealed that nearly three-quarters of those affected were over 80, the regulator said in its report.
Vaccine makers FPfizer-BioNtech are working with the Norwegian regulator to investigate the deaths and have claimed that “the number of incidents to date is not alarming and in line with expectations.”
To date, Norway has administered the first dose of the coronavirus vaccine to nearly 33,000 people, with priority given to vulnerable workers, the elderly and healthcare professionals. So far, the majority of people have received the Pfizer vaccine, and a few others with a similar dose of Moderna.
