Iceland on Oct. 8 halted the use of the Moderna vaccine against the
CCP virus due to reports from Nordic countries of “increased
incidence” of inflammation of heart muscle and tissues triggered by
the injection.

Sweden, Finland, Denmark, and Norway have already limited the use of
the Moderna vaccine over the same concerns. Iceland went further than
its neighbors and stopped using the vaccine entirely.

    “In recent days, there has been data from the Nordic countries on
the increased incidence of myocarditis and pericarditis after
vaccination with Moderna vaccine in addition to vaccination with
Pfizer/BioNTech (Comirnaty),” an announcement from Iceland’s
Directorate of Health stated.

    “As there is a sufficient supply of Pfizer vaccine in Iceland for
both the pre-vaccine activation vaccines and the primary vaccinations
of those who have not yet been vaccinated, the epidemiologist has
decided not to use the Moderna vaccine in Iceland, while providing
further information on the safety of the Moderna vaccine.”

Sweden limited the use of the Moderna shot on Oct. 6 to those born
before 1991. The Swedish health agency said at the time that new data
from Swedish and other Nordic sources “indicate that the connection is
especially clear” between Moderna’s vaccine and side effects
“especially after the second dose.”

    “Both myocarditis and pericarditis often go away on their own,
without causing any lasting problems, but suspicious symptoms should
be assessed by a doctor at … a health center or emergency room,” the
agency stated, noting that “medical treatment and monitoring in
hospital may be needed in established cases.”

Norway and Denmark have recommended the Pfizer vaccine for children
aged 12-17. In Iceland, only the Pfizer vaccine has been recommended
for the 12-17 age group.

Finland on Oct. 7 discontinued the use of the Moderna shot for men
under the age of 30.

That decision came one day after Sweden and Denmark halted the use of
the vaccine for the younger age groups.

Iceland had been using the Moderna vaccine almost exclusively as a
booster shot for those who received the Johnson&Johnson vaccine,
according to the Health Directorate. The Nordic nation had also been
using the Moderna vaccine as a booster for two-dose vaccinations of
the elderly and immunocompromised.

According to the World Health Organization, more than 75 percent of
Iceland’s population has been fully vaccinated against the CCP
(Chinese Communist Party) virus, commonly known as the novel
coronavirus, which causes COVID-19.

A total of 33 people died from COVID-19 in Iceland since the start of
the pandemic.
