In France, about 500,000 people were vaccinated against the novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19) over the past three weeks, of which 139 had adverse reactions.
The French Ministry of Health said this on the 19th (local time), according to Daily Le Figaro and AFP.
Five people died after vaccination.
The health ministry explained that they were all elderly or very elderly with the disease, and no correlation was found between vaccination and death.
A total of 71 cases were identified by the French government to have died after being vaccinated against Corona 19 across Europe.
In Norway, 13 elderly people died after vaccination with the Pfizer-Bioentech vaccine, the authorities said, all of whom were elderly and had serious underlying diseases.
France, along with EU member states, began vaccinating the COVID-19 vaccine jointly developed by Pfizer and Bioentech from the 27th of last month.
Vaccine benefits were given to residents of nursing homes for the elderly and employees of nursing homes aged 65 and over first, followed by medical staff, caregivers, firefighters, and housekeepers.
From the previous day, cancer patients, patients with chronic renal failure, Down syndrome patients, and organ transplant patients who are 75 years of age or older or who require chemotherapy regardless of age can also receive the vaccine.
