Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – Norway warns of the risks of the Covid-19 vaccine. This step came after several deaths occurred in some elderly, 80 years and older, after being injected with the vaccine.
Local officials said 29 people had died in the country shortly after receiving the first dose. According to the Norwegian Drug Administration (NMA) of these 13 deaths autopsies have been performed and the results suggest that common side effects may have contributed to severe reactions in frail older people.
“There are 13 deaths that have been evaluated, and another 16 deaths that are currently being evaluated,” the agency said on Monday (1/18/2020).
All reported deaths were attributed to the elderly with serious underlying disorders. Most of the side effects experienced, such as nausea and vomiting, fever, local reactions at the injection site, and worsening of underlying conditions.
Bloomberg and South China Morning Mail (SCMP) writes in its vaccination program, Norway only uses vaccines manufactured by Pfizer BioTech. This raises new concerns as the side effects of the vaccine can be very serious for the elderly.
“For those with severe ‘weakness’, even the relatively mild side effects of the vaccine can have serious consequences,” said the Norwegian Institute of Public Health (NIPH).
“For those with a very short remaining life, the benefit of the vaccine may be minor or irrelevant.”
Meanwhile, Pfizer BioTech is said to be working with the Norwegian government to investigate this death case. There were no immediate comments from the US and German vaccine manufacturers.
So far, no side effects have been reported after Covid-19 vaccination. However, in the United States (US), at least 21 cases of severe allergies were reported after injecting the Covid-19 Pfizer / BioNTech vaccine from December 14 to 23, out of a total of 1.9 million doses of vaccine administered to the public.
The Pfizer BioTech vaccine itself was said to be one of the best corona vaccines in the world with efficacy claims greater than 90%. The vaccine itself has been injected into a number of world leaders who are quite older, such as the President-elect of the United States, Joe Biden, the King of Saudi Arabia, Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, and the Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu.
