London: In a matter of concern, 23 people died in Norway in a short time after receiving the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. The vaccine may be too risky for the very old and terminally ill, officials observed.
Out of 23 deceased, the autopsies of 13 revealed that the common side effects may have contributed to severe reactions in the frail and elderly people.
“For those with the most severe frailty, even relatively mild vaccine side effects can have serious consequences,” the Norwegian Institute of Public Health said. “For those who have a very short remaining life span anyway, the benefit of the vaccine may be marginal or irrelevant.”
Pfizer and BioNTech are reportedly working with Norway’s authorities to determine what went wrong. Norway currently vaccinated around 33,000 people.
There has been one death post vaccination in France as well. However, the patient was frail and authorities have denied any link to the vaccine as cause of death.
