Oslo: In Norway, more than 20 people have lost their lives after being inoculated with the Pfizer. As per the claims of the Norwegian Agency for Medicine, at least 23 people vaccinated with the Pfizer vaccine against coronavirus have died.
Specialists are investigating the causes of death of citizens. Some 13 cases have already been examined which suggest that the vaccine may indeed have caused side effects that led to “a more serious course of existing diseases in older people.”
As the US and the UK had initiated the dose of Pfizer, Norway was the one in Europe who began the process of vaccination on December 27.
At the beginning of the year, it was reported that the two nursing home residents died after receiving doses of the Pfizer and BioNTech coronavirus vaccine. The Medical Director of the Norwegian Medicines Agency and Norway’s National Institute of Public Health is investigating the deaths.
Pfizer and Moderna, the companies that developed the vaccines authorized in the U.S. so far, say their vaccines are about 95% effective at preventing people from getting sick with Covid symptoms. However, the side effects of the vaccines can’t be ruled out.
