FHI published secret vaccine information by mistake, they say in a press release on Friday.

On Wednesday afternoon, FHI published a summary of which municipalities will receive the vaccine in the coming days.

In two of the documents that were published, there was also in a hidden tab in the Excel document the contact information of the representatives of the different recipients with email addresses and mobile phone numbers.

The information was kept until Thursday morning.

– This is information that for security reasons should not be available, and was removed Thursday morning from the website, says Geir Bukholm, who runs the coronary vaccination program at FHI.

The NIPH is now conducting a new risk assessment regarding vaccine distribution in consultation with various affected parties.

– Vaccine distribution continues basically normally, but may be relevant with greater safety at various points or otherwise. We have no further comment on the safety of the vaccine distribution, says Bukholm.
