First COVID vaccines in Finland on December 27
The regulator declined to provide details, saying the information would be released if it received at least five notifications of side effects.
The Finnish pharmaceutical development and safety agency Fimea has received the first statement of an adverse reaction to the coronavirus vaccine. Maya Kaukonen, Fimea’s chief physician, said the content of the statement was not disclosed to maintain confidentiality, YLE writes.
“When we receive at least five notifications (of an adverse reaction to the vaccine – Ed.), We will let you know what kind of side effects they indicated,” Kaukonen said.
After the European Medicines Agency (EMA) recommended the use of the Pfizer / BioNTech COVID vaccine in the EU market on December 21, 2020, the first vaccines were administered in Finland on December 27, to doctors.
Healthcare workers in the five largest hospital districts of Helsinki, Turku, Tampere, Kuopio and Oulu are known to have already received the coronavirus vaccine.
Recall that to date, Israel has vaccinated 10% of the population against the coronavirus. The country leads the world in terms of the scale of the coronavirus vaccination process. One million people were vaccinated in less than two weeks.
It was also reported that the WHO has approved the Pfizer COVID vaccine. The organization has recommended an emergency medicine from Pfizer. This is the first vaccine to be on this list since the COVID-19 outbreak began.
