Norwegian Case
The first messages from Norway caused anxiety, as the world listens to the early signs of potential side effects of vaccines.
"We are not alarmed," Medical Director of the Norwegian Medicine Agency, Stanear Madsen in Bloomberg's comments, said on Monday. - Obviously, COVID-19 is much more dangerous for the majority of patients than vaccination. "
Doctors do not hide that vaccine side effects can aggravate the main chronic diseases.
According to the latest data from Norway, after vaccination with Pfizer-Biontech, 33 people have died aged 75 years and older. It is argued that they were all seriously ill. At the same time, more than 48 thousand guest houses are already vaccinated - almost all of their population.
Thus, it turns out that lethal cases are less than one per thousand grafts. According to the Norwegian Institute of Public Health, from the beginning of the pandemic in the country due to infection died 521 people, of which 447 aged 70 years and older.
Cape Talbot, Professor of Medicine from Vanderbilt University and Consultant American Centers for the Control and Prevention of Diseases, expected and was afraid that such deaths provoke distrust of vaccination: "Fragile, the elderly die, and die often. I do not think people are aware. I was worried that we would introduce a vaccine, and people would think that she kills. "
The professor was against the use of vaccine primarily on the elderly and sick people in the nursing homes, advised to vaccinate personnel who surrounds these elderly.
However, in many countries, the most vulnerable group of the population was decided to vaccinate first. Now medical officials have to justify and remove the voltage in society about the fears of vaccination.
"It is important to remember that every day in nursing homes in Norway dies about 45 people, therefore it is not a fact that it means excessive mortality or the presence of causal relationship with vaccination," said the director of the Norwegian Institute of Public Health Camilla on Monday at a press conference. Stoltenberg. However, she did not give up the exact causes of these deaths - their analysis has not yet been conducted.
The director stressed that the doctors who introduce the vaccine to patients should in each specific case to assess the risks and weighed in and against the vaccination of weak or severely ill patients. She did not rule out the fact that in some cases doctors should not have vaccinated elderly patients. After all, a week ago, the Norwegian drug agency stated that the temperature and nausea (the usual side effects of RNA vaccine) "could contribute to a fatal outcome of some weakened patients."
In Poland, 11 people died after vaccination

It is mainly about medical personnel and senior faces. By the end of the first quarter, more than three million people plan to vaccinate in Poland.
