Norway should exclude J&J, AstraZeneca vaccination scheme: Panel | Coronavirus pandemic News
Eight cases of severe coordination in Norway were linked to the AstraZeneca vaccine and four of those recipients were killed, the commission says.
Norway’s COVID-19 vaccine, carried out by AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson, should be excluded from its inoculation program because of the risk of rare but harmful side effects, a government-appointed commission said on Monday.
However, volunteers should be allowed to take both vaccines, emphasizing the importance of dispelling doubts about the vaccine.
Norway canceled the spread of the AstraZeneca vaccine on March 11 after a small number of inoculated young people had a small number of blood clots, bleeding and platelets.
