The Norwegian Institute of Public Health and the Norwegian Medicines Agency are working under high pressure to find out if there is a connection between AstraZeneca’s discontinued corona vaccine and deaths and serious cases of blood clots in vaccinated health workers.
On Sunday evening, the Norwegian Medicines Agency encouraged everyone who felt very ill on the fourth day after vaccination to see a doctor.
Fever, nausea, and malaise can be very common side effects of the AstraZeneca vaccine. But those who feel very ill for more than three days should contact a doctor.
Symptoms such as tenderness around the puncture site, headache, fatigue, muscle and joint pain, or chills can also be quite common in the first three days afterward.
On Sunday, health authorities in Ireland and the Netherlands also decided to stop using the Swedish-British vaccine following the latest reports from Norway and Denmark.
It emerged on Friday that a nurse, a woman in her 30s, died in Tynset of a brain hemorrhage, ten days after being vaccinated with the AstraZeneca vaccine.
– Brain hemorrhage under 45 years of age is extremely rare
Three health workers, all under the age of 50, are receiving intensive treatment at Rikshospitalet for unusual cases of blood clots. Everyone has been vaccinated with AstraZeneca.
Over the weekend, there have been over a thousand specific concerns from people who have been vaccinated and who have had or fear side effects.
Rikshospitalet informed NTB on Sunday afternoon that the condition is very serious for all three.
Emergency services across the country, central health authorities and the Norwegian Nurses Association have received several new reports in the last 24 hours about people vaccinated with skin bleeds, also known as skin bruises.
Fine blood
It indicates a lack of platelets, which causes the blood to maintain the proper consistency.
– We have been informed that one of the three Rikshospitalet patients is a nurse and a woman in her 40s, with a lack of platelets. We have many inquiries from members with different health experiences after vaccination, Norwegian Nurses Association leader Lill Sverresdatter Larsen told Dagbladet on Sunday.
The association is awaiting the results of the National Institute of Public Health of studies on serious side effects.
Vaccine-related skin bleeding, which the union leader does not recall, has been a topic since research a few years ago into the side effects of a measles, mumps and rubella vaccine.
The problems came with AstraZeneca
Most of Norway’s nurses and healthcare workers have been vaccinated with doses of Pfizer-BioNTech since the end of December. That vaccine came first.
– The AstraZeneca vaccine has been used for nurses and others who work in the healthcare system since sometime in February. Since then, most of the reports of side effects in our members have come in, says the union leader of the Norwegian Nurses Association.
There was a death in connection with a hospital in Zwittl in Austria before last weekend that “stationed” the AstraZeneca vaccine first there, then the Baltic countries, Bulgaria, Denmark, Norway, Iceland, most recently Ireland and the Netherlands and countries. out of Europe.
In Austria, a 49-year-old blood clot nurse died an hour and a half after being vaccinated. A 35-year-old colleague at the same hospital also suffered from a blood clot after a dose of vaccine from the same party.
He died an hour and a half later
After the death of a 60-year-old woman in Denmark after the same type of vaccination on Thursday, the alarm sounded in our neighboring country.
AstraZeneca and the European Medicines Agency EMA announced a few days ago that known deaths had occurred after vaccination of a production series labeled ABV5300. It has been exported to 17 countries in one million doses.
AstraZeneca claims that the vaccine, which was developed at the University of Oxford, has been exported to more than 50 countries.
Vaccines: three million – blood clots: 22 cases
The Norwegian Medicines Agency EMA stated last Tuesday that it had then been reported 22 cases blood clot after three million vaccines. EMA has not drawn conclusions about any connections.
– What does the Norwegian Nurses Association know or think about the side effects of covid-19 vaccines?
– Like everyone else, we are waiting for what occurs to the National Institute of Public Health and the professional authorities. As for the usual efficacy of vaccinates, we know that the Pfizer vaccine appears to produce mild side effects after dose two, while AstraZeneca produces mild side effects after the first dose, says union leader Lill Sverresdatter Larsen.
– Therefore, the Pfizer vaccine offers less chance of strong reactions to the first dose than AstraZeneca. So it may be the opposite after the second dose, explains Larsen.
