By Monday, more than 615,500 Norwegians had received at least one stab in the arm with the coronary vaccine.
According to the sober vaccine scenario published by the Norwegian Institute of Public Health (NIPH) on March 12, all adults will be offered the first dose of the vaccine in mid-July. This scenario will be updated on Tuesday.
– There will be an updated immunization plan for the week, probably Tuesday. But there will likely be no big dramatic changes, chief physician Are Berg at FHI said Saturday.
Berg notes that there have been a number of delays and there will be new ones. The vaccination scenarios for FHI are based on a large increase in the number of vaccines Norway will receive in the coming months. As of week 11, 596,000 doses of the Pfizer-Biontech vaccine had been distributed in Norway, we will receive 580,000 in April alone, if FHI’s plans come true. In addition, an increase in deliveries of other vaccines is expected.

Denmark advances completion date
In Denmark, the Statens Serum Institut has estimated that 11.8% of the population have received the first dose of vaccine. 6.3 percent are fully vaccinated, according to SSI. On Monday, the National Board of Health updated its scenario, where they predict that the entire adult population will be fully vaccinated during week 29, that is, on July 26. It’s a week earlier than planned before.
The public health authority wrote on Friday that 12.6 percent of the Swedish population have received at least one dose. The country aimed to vaccinate the entire adult population during the first half of 2021, but that goal was canceled by the country’s vaccine coordinator Richard Bergström on Saturday.
– It will take a little longer before everyone is fully vaccinated, but maybe five million people are fully vaccinated by the beginning of the year, Bergström said on the SVT Helgstudion program.
However, he estimates that everyone will receive the first dose during the month of June.
Finland: postpone second dose
In Finland, up to 15.1 percent of the population, almost one in six, have received the first dose of vaccine, but in return only 1.6 percent have received the second dose, writes the Finnish Institute of Health Public THI.
– We are on our way back to normal life.
This may be related to the vaccination strategy of the country. In February, TV 2 reported that Finns set vaccine doses at twelve-week intervals, rather than six weeks, which is the case for most vaccines in Norway. Finland’s vaccination schedule stipulates that the entire adult population must be fully vaccinated before the end of the year.
The two Nordic island states are also off to a good start. Icelandic authorities write that some 45,000 people have received at least one dose. It is about 12 percent of the population and the country hopes to have finished vaccinating the adult population during the summer. The Faroe Islands have vaccinated 11 percent of their population.
