The Norwegian Medicines Agency said in a statement some common reactions to the vaccine may have contributed to their deaths, which was to be expected in frail patients.
A total of 29 people, all aged over 75, died out of more than 42,000 vaccinations in the Scandinavian country.
University of Auckland vaccinologist Helen Petousis-Harris said there's no indication the two are linked and the virus itself poses a much greater threat to the age bracket.
"I think this is something that we have expected," she told Newshub. "When you start vaccinating the extremely elderly - these are very, very frail people - you are, by chance, going to see deaths occurring shortly after.
Petousis-Harris said the deaths were most likely a coincidence.
Have we coincident our elderly?
