Norwegian Institute of Public Health: Lower mortality among those vaccinated against Covid-19
Those who were vaccinated against Covid-19 had a lower mortality rate compared to those who were not vaccinated in the period from 2021 to 2023. This is shown by a new study from the Norwegian Institute of Public Health.
The mortality rate was 24 to 30 per cent lower for those who had received at least three doses of the vaccine compared to those who were unvaccinated, according to the Norwegian Institute of Public Health.
The difference was greater for men than for women.
Mortality was measured as the number of deaths per 100,000 person-years, providing an accurate assessment of mortality risk over time.
"We see that people who received the coronavirus vaccine had a significantly lower mortality rate than those who did not," research director Hanne Løvdal Gulseth says in a press release (link in Norwegian)
This applies across all age groups, both younger and older.
