Information on vaccines for children
Høie also commented on the debate on the level of infection control in schools and rejected that the goal is to infect children. Former director Nils Strandberg Pedersen of the Danish Statens Serum Institut (SSI) believes that this will happen with as few restrictions in schools as there are currently in Norway and Denmark.
- Children do not get particularly sick with Covid-19. The disease is no more dangerous than the common flu, Strandberg Pedersen told Politisk kvarter.
– There are still many unvaccinated people in Norway and the number of infections is increasing among children will increase the risk of infection to unvaccinated adults, Høie said.
The Norwegian Health Directorate recommends that the government postpone step four

The Norwegian Directorate of Health is not currently recommending changes, they write in their professional opinion, which they submitted to the government on Wednesday 1 September.
