Norwegian Prime Minister Erna Solberg says her country may fine-tune the vaccination of its oldest, sickest citizens as it tries to make sense of a recent spate of deaths.
Having weathered the pandemic better than most, Norway suddenly made international headlines this month after revealing that more than 30 people all over 70 and all already sick died not long after being vaccinated against covid-19. Solberg says the intense global interest in the news was exaggerated as she tries to ensure the development doesn t put people off inoculation.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu proposed to six other heads of states that they join forces to combat the current and future pandemics in a more coordinated manner.
