All vaccinated people were nursing home residents between the ages of 80 and 90 and had serious illnesses that affected survival. Given the situation in which the part of the population that already has a high mortality rate has been vaccinated, it is natural that one or the other vaccine died shortly after vaccination.
Despite reports of deaths, the elderly and nursing home residents in Norway remain priority groups for COVID-19 vaccination.
According to Rugilė Pilvinienė, Senior Advisor to IWT’s Pharmacovigilance and Poisoning Information Unit, no deaths related to the recent COVID-19 vaccination have been reported in Lithuania. However, adverse reactions to vaccines have been reported.
“The main complaints of people vaccinated against COVID-19 after the first dose of the vaccine received by the Office are fever, headache, local allergic reactions or pain at the injection site. Very few people have received a second one. dose of the vaccine. According to official statistics, among all those vaccinated, the first dose of the vaccine is still received by a very small percentage (only 1.7) of people over 80 years of age, since priority was given to vaccinating healthcare workers (doctors, nurses and other medical personnel) in Lithuania.) IWT has not yet received reports of adverse reactions to the vaccine that may have been experienced by vaccinated patients of respectable age, ”notes R. Pilvinienė.

These include diseases like advanced cancer, heart failure, stroke, myocardial infarction, etc. The latter could be called end-of-life diseases.
“The responsible Norwegian authorities claim that there are around 440 deaths per week among the approximately 226,000 people over the age of 80 in the country. Considering the situation that the part of the population that already has a high mortality rate has been vaccinated, it is It is natural that after vaccination with one or another vaccine, deaths occur shortly after vaccination ”, says R. Pilvinienė.
