The EMA itself stated that they had been targeted by hackers on Wednesday. In a press release, the EMA wrote that they are in dialogue with various authorities regarding the attack, but that they currently have no further information.
It is not yet clear who is behind the attack, or what the purpose was, writes Reuters.
Pfizer and BioNTech said Wednesday night that the hackers gained “illegal access” to documents related to the development of their vaccine. It appears in a joint press release.
No Biontech or Pfizer system is affected by piracy. The companies further say they do not believe that the personal data of any of the test persons who participated in the development of the vaccine have been lost.

Important Vaccine Meeting During Christmas
Reuters writes that the companies have not responded to further questions about the incident.
Therefore, it is not known whether the attack will have an impact on the vaccine approval schedule. This Christmas, the EMA will discuss the vaccine developed by German Biontech, with funds from the US company Pfizer.
The Norwegian Medicines Agency has 900 employees and is based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Under the plan, Moderna’s vaccine evaluation will also take place on January 12.
An EU approval means that the vaccine can also be used in Norway.
Early Wednesday, Canadian health authorities announced that they had urgently approved the Pfizer vaccine. The UK did the same last week and on Tuesday began distributing 800,000 doses to the population.
AstraZeneca, University of Oxford
The corona vaccine developed at the University of Oxford prevents the symptoms of COVID-19 in 70 percent of cases.
The AZD1222 vaccine is based on the monkey ChAdOx1 virus. This virus is modified so that it cannot make copies of itself, so it does not cause disease. The researchers also changed the virus to carry additional information. The additional information causes your body to produce the so-called “spike protein” of the coronavirus.
What happens is the following: You get the vaccine in your body. The vaccine virus enters your cells. Inside cells, the production system discovers the additional information. Many copies of the “spike protein” are made. These copies are secreted by cells. Your immune system detects these proteins. An immune response is triggered. Antibodies against the coronavirus are produced and the immune system remembers that it is something to react to.
You have been vaccinated.
Biontech, Fosun Pharma and Pfizer
The German pharmaceutical company BioNTech reports that its coronary vaccine has been shown to be 95 percent effective. The UK will start vaccinating in December.
The BNT162b2 vaccine relies on your body’s system for building things. The vaccine is just building instructions for the cells. The instructions are based on the same codes that cells use all the time for this purpose. These are called mRNA or “messenger ribonucleic acid.”
What happens is the following:
The vaccine is injected into your body. The information from the vaccine reaches the machines in the cells that make proteins. These machines build copies of the so-called “spike protein” of the coronavirus. These proteins are secreted by cells and detected by the immune system. The immune system reacts in the same way as if the real coronavirus had entered the body. Antibodies are produced and the immune system remembers that the coronavirus is something foreign to react to.

Johnson and Johnson
The vaccine is in phase 3 of development.
Ad26 vaccine. COV2.S is based on the ad26 virus. It is a cold virus that circulates among humans. This is the virus that has been modified by researchers so that it cannot cause disease in humans. It also carries an extra gene, a bit of extra information. The additional information causes your body to produce the so-called “spike protein” of the coronavirus.
What happens is the following:
You get the vaccine in your body. The vaccine virus enters your cells. Inside cells, the production system discovers the additional information. Many copies of the “spike protein” are made. These copies are secreted by cells. Your immune system detects these proteins. An immune response is triggered. Antibodies against the coronavirus are produced and the immune system remembers that it is something to react to.

Novavax with partners
Novavax expects results in early 2021.
The NVX-CoV2373 vaccine is based on what are called nanoparticles. These are microscopic structures. The Novavax vaccine has nanoparticles that are primarily an extract from the Quillaja saponaria plant. This extract is used in much of the world as a food additive, but it also has medicinal properties. In addition, the vaccine particles are made up of cholesterol and fatty acids. The particles also carry the “spike protein” of the coronavirus. These nails are produced in genetically modified yeast cells and are added to the particles in the production process.
What happens is the following:
The vaccine works in two ways. Nanoparticles make your immune system respond better, and spike proteins make your immune system react as if a real coronavirus has entered the body.

Modern
US Secretary of Health Alax Azar says that the coronary vaccine at Pfizer and Moderna can be approved and distributed in a few weeks.
The mRNA-1273 vaccine relies on your body’s system to build things. The vaccine is just building instructions for the cells. The instructions are based on the same codes that cells use all the time for this purpose. These are called mRNA or “messenger ribonucleic acid.”
What happens is the following:
The vaccine is injected into your body. The information from the vaccine reaches the machines in the cells that make proteins. These machines build copies of the so-called “spike protein” of the coronavirus. These proteins are secreted by cells and detected by the immune system. The immune system reacts in the same way as if the real coronavirus had entered the body. Antibodies are produced and the immune system remembers that the coronavirus is something alien to which it must react.
You have been vaccinated.
In this phase, the vaccine is given to a small group of young, healthy people to see if the immune system responds. Researchers are also investigating whether it causes powerful and perhaps dangerous side effects. Also, based on the results, it is estimated how much vaccine should be administered.
In this phase, the vaccine is administered to a larger and wider group. The aim is to find variations in the response of the immune system and more data on side effects and the most reasonable amount of vaccine.
In this phase, it is investigated if the vaccine provides protection against the disease and if it causes more rare side effects. Several thousand people receive the vaccine and several thousand people receive a sham vaccine. Nobody knows who gets what. This is to ensure good scientific data.
The vaccine is ready for distribution.
The vaccine is approved for use in the EU and Norway.
Increase in piracy against health authorities
The Reuters news agency writes that during the corona pandemic, more hacker attacks have been carried out against health authorities than before. The news agency writes that the attacks have been carried out by both state-sponsored spies and private cybercriminals.
Hackers associated with North Korea, Iran, Vietnam, China and Russia have on several occasions been accused of attempting to steal information about the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as possible forms of treatment, Reuters writes.
British, American and Canadian authorities said in July that Russian hackers were trying to steal information from researchers working to develop a coronary vaccine. They claimed that the group “APT29”, also known as “Cozy Bear”, was behind the attack.
British Security Secretary James Brokenshire said in July that the attempt to steal Britain’s vaccine research was unacceptable. Russia has denied trying to steal research data.

Explain
When and how do we Norwegians get vaccinated against the crown?
for answers
Vaccination begins in early January, as soon as the first vaccines arrive in Norway. This assumes that the vaccine is approved for use by the EU. It probably happens around New Years.
How is the vaccination done?
Those who are offered a vaccine will be contacted.
You get one dose first, then another dose after a few weeks.
The vaccine is voluntary. It’s free.
Who gets vaccinated first?
Seniors get first, those living in nursing homes take priority. I saw those over 64, as well as younger people who have underlying diseases. Then the health professionals.
Before Easter, probably 70% of the people in the risk group have been vaccinated.
How do I know if I am being prioritized and receiving the vaccine?
Your GP or municipality will contact you.
If you are not in the risk group, you will probably be offered a vaccination between Easter and summer.
There are different vaccines. Can I choose which one I want?
Health authorities decide on the basis of which vaccines are available and which ones are the most suitable for different groups.
If I am not offered the vaccine, can I get it if I pay for it myself?
No, it is not possible to buy in advance in the queue.
What about the side effects?
Authorities have promised to be open about any side effects when they receive information about it. So far, during testing, no serious side effects have been reported in the vaccines that are most relevant to Norway.
This is how the vaccine works:
