Norway was one of the first countries to start vaccinating people before the end of last year, beginning in nursing homes with the elderly.
Reports from local media there note that there have been 23 deaths among those who have taken the shot, with 13 so far positively linked to the side effects of the shot.
However, Dr. Steinar Madsen, the medical director of the national drug regulator, the Norwegian Medicines Agency
commented “We do not see anything alarming with these figures. All deaths are in elderly and frail people with underlying diseases.”
