23 elderly people die in Norway after receiving the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine: Cautionary note issued

Although a direct connection between the Pfizer vaccine and these deaths is yet to be established, experts say 13 of the 23 people who died have shown common side effects of mRNA vaccines such as diarrhea, nausea and fever.

 

With the mass COVID-19 vaccination drive starting from today in India, there comes some bad news from Norway. According to reports, 23 elderly people died after receiving the Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine. Norway launched a mass vaccination campaign at the end of December, with the very oldest citizens and residents of nursing homes being offered vaccination first, including those over the age of 85.

 

Other than this, many others fell ill soon after getting the shot. Most of the deaths were seen among people above the age of 80 years who were already weak and frail. Following this alarming development, Norway has launched a probe into the deaths. Also Read - Delhi health workers suffer mild reaction post COVID-19 vaccine: What you should expect
