Improving vaccine access and simplifying immunization in Norway
MPs Erlend Svardal Bøe and Margret Hagerup propose measures to strengthen Norway's vaccination system. The proposers argue that Norway lags behind comparable countries in adopting new vaccines and lacks a mechanism to automatically incorporate vaccines recommended by the Medicines Agency and the Public Health Institute. They call for authorization thresholds for vaccines, expanded pharmacy-based vaccination services, transparent processing timelines, and incentives for municipalities to increase vaccination rates.
