The Norwegian Institute of Public Health believes that vaccination in Norway can go fast, despite a smooth start.
OFFICE OF THE PRIME MINISTER (Nettavisen): On December 27, Svein Andersen (67) became Norway’s first recipient of the coronary vaccine, and Prime Minister Erna Solberg noted a few days later that the EEA agreement has been important to ensure Norway’s access to vaccines.
But as Nettavisen writes on Sunday, at the same time, no EU country is at the forefront of vaccination.

According to the latest information available, it is also the case that Norway receives 40,000 doses of vaccine per week. At that rate, it will take two and a half years to vaccinate the entire population. At the same time, authorities say there will be greater access as more candidate vaccines are approved.
On Sunday evening, the government will hold a press conference to report on tough new measures from the crown. The online newspaper is present during the press conference and asks questions about the progress of the vaccination.
When asked by Nettavisen what realistic progress is before Norway has been vaccinated, NIPH’s Camilla Stoltenberg points out that the 40,000 figure applies to one of the more vaccines.
– In total, during the first three quarters, we believe there will be coverage for around 5 million people in Norway. This is going to go fast, and it may go faster than we think so far.
This means that five million of Norway’s population will be vaccinated this fall. In an interview with Nettavisen after the press conference, Stoltenberg says that the entire Norwegian population will likely have been offered a vaccine during 2021, and perhaps earlier.

Israel has already vaccinated 12 percent of population: Danish researchers kill EU vaccination plan
– He has not had money
In Israel, 12 percent of the population is vaccinated: 150,000 are vaccinated every day. In Bahrain, 3.5 percent are vaccinated and in the UK, 1.5 percent are vaccinated. During the press conference on Saturday, it was learned that around 2,200 have been vaccinated in Norway today, on the condition that the number may be somewhat higher due to delays.
– Shouldn’t the EU and Norway be at the forefront here?
– There are some countries that have approved emergency vaccines and started vaccinating earlier. It was a choice they decided not to take in the EU, says Erna Solberg.
She says they believe this has been correct, to give vaccines credibility in settings that have shown skepticism.
– It wasn’t about money. We have been concerned with developing the vaccine and have worked since we were little. I receive criticism for spending too much money, for example, to support Gavi or Cepi, and all the organizations that make us receive vaccines and have vaccines distributed around the world, says Solberg.
– But it has been important for a small country like Norway to be with the EU in an alliance, to be able to take the initiative, also to get vaccines for its own population.
