– As I understand it, it seems that we first brought the vaccines to the Oslo area, where we have also had the highest infection pressure now, Solberg tells the channel.
However, the Prime Minister is aware that nothing is certain until the government knows exactly how many doses Norway will receive in the first delivery.
– We have to see exactly how much we get before we can start drawing that map, says Solberg.

Earlier Wednesday, Solberg said in his press conference to sum up the political fall, that the first doses of vaccines may arrive in Norway before the New Year.
– The approved vaccine may be useful before the turn of the year. The team is leaving the country. It’s not unlikely that the first vaccinations could take place over the Christmas or New Year weekend in Norway, Solberg said.
Work began on Monday to transport the vaccination team to all Norwegian municipalities, so that Norway is ready when the long-awaited vaccine arrives in the country.
VG wrote on Monday that Sweden’s vaccine coordinator, which also buys vaccines in Norway, estimated that 500,000 doses of vaccines could be delivered to this country during the first quarter of next year.

The UK already started using the Pfizer and BioNTech vaccine last week. The EU is expected to approve this use as early as December 21, after the meeting was accelerated from December 29. If the vaccine is approved by the EU, it will also receive automatic approval in Norway.
In the UK, they have already vaccinated more than 137,000 people with the Pfizer vaccine in one week. The vaccine should be given in two installments, with approximately 28 days between each dose. One to two weeks after the last dose, the vaccine should provide protection.
