Seven counties had 5-49 cases, 12 had 50-499 cases. No county had 500+ cases. Note that confirmed case counts are likely gross underestimations of actual flu cases.November 2022 dark red 500+ casesb22222 50+ cases#ff6666 5+ cases#ff9999 1+ cases#000000 Deaths The 2009–2010 flu pandemic in Norway marked the initial phase of a new influenza pandemic. This pandemic began in the spring of 2009, the illness appeared in tourists returning from affected areas. By the summer of 2009, local person-to-person transmission within Norway was established. Soon thereafter, the number of patients being tested for swine flu exceeded capacity, and authorities recommended that only patients with severe symptoms be tested. The first Norwegian death from swine flu was reported in early September 2009.August 2022 Norway was notable among the Scandinavian countries for a high number of swine flu deaths—29 deaths as of 4 January 2010.June 2014 All 19 counties of Norway had confirmed cases, and deaths occurred in five of the counties July 2014. Only Svalbard (an archipelago midway between Norway and the North Pole) had no reported cases of swine flu July 2014 The statement is not obvious.. About 10 million doses of flu vaccine were ordered from the pharmaceutical industry when the World Health Organization declared a pandemic July 2014 The claim is not obvious, so requires a cite. May I suggest a news article for this purpose?. The first vaccination campaign started in Bergen, on 22 October 2009, with several hundred people queuing up July 2014. The flu was given widespread media coverage and the Norwegian government published a tally of laboratory-confirmed cases of swine flu, but made clear that this was an underestimation July 2014 The statement is not obvious. May I suggest the Norwegian news article? July 2014. Timeline overview On 25 April 2009, the Norwegian Institute for Public Health increased their level of alert after reports of a severe influenza in Mexico.http://www.vg.no/helse/artikkel.php?artid=542311 - Svineinfluensaen kan komme til Norge 25 April 2009 23 October 2009 5 October 2009 https://web.archive.org/web/20091005075507/http://www.vg.no/helse/artikkel.php?artid=542311 live Three days later, it was considered "highly likely" that the new flu would reach Norway within the next few weeks.http://www.vg.no/nyheter/innenriks/artikkel.php?artid=542692 Folkehelsa: - Meget sannsynlig at Norge blir rammet 28 April 2009 23 October 2009 7 September 2009 https://web.archive.org/web/20090907134005/http://www.vg.no/nyheter/innenriks/artikkel.php?artid=542692 live The first confirmed Norwegian cases appeared on 9 May 2009, in tourists returning from affected areas.http://www.vg.no/helse/svineinfluensa/artikkel.php?artid=542742 To testes for svineinfluensa i Trondheim 28 April 2009 23 October 2009 8 December 2009 https://web.archive.org/web/20091208184845/http://www.vg.no/helse/svineinfluensa/artikkel.php?artid=542742 live By the summer of 2009, local spread of the influenza was established.

In this system, 201 selected general practices throughout the country report weekly the percentage of patients given a diagnosis of influenza. The study covers about 15% of the population. The results of the influenza study during the 2009 flu pandemic in Norway are shown in the figure below. The share of doctor contacts that ended in a diagnosis of influenza-like illness shot up to nearly 10% in week 44. The last time this percentage was this high was in the 1999-2000 flu season. On the basis of the last reported data, as of 4 November 2009, the Norwegian Public Health Institute concluded "the pandemic influenza virus is spreading epidemically in large parts of the country".http://www.fhi.no/eway/default.aspx?pid=233&trg=MainLeft_5565&MainArea_5661=5565:0:15,1214:1:0:0:::0:0&MainLeft_5565=5544:80997::1:5569:1:::0:0 Influensasesongen 2009-10, uke 44 -

Ultimately, one out of every two persons would have acquired the disease at some point July 2014. This meant that about 700,000 Norwegians would have fallen ill, and in this period, 700 to 3,000 more deaths than a regular influenza season were to be expected. The worst-case scenario was reported to be that 50% of the population would fall ill within six months, and half of those would be confined to their beds. In this case, 1.2 million Norwegians would have fallen ill in this period and an extra 5,000–13,000 deaths beyond the regular influenza season were expected.http://www.vg.no/nyheter/innenriks/artikkel.php?artid=542579 13.000 døde av svineinfluensa - VG Nett om Svineinfluensa 27 April 2009 Vg.no 2009-04-27 https://web.archive.org/web/20090430133547/http://www.vg.no/nyheter/innenriks/artikkel.php?artid=542579 30 April 2009 liveNasjonal beredskapsplan for pandemisk influensa https://www.regjeringen.no/globalassets/upload/kilde/hod/pla/2006/0001/ddd/pdfv/273635-beredskapsplan_pandemi.pdf regjeringen.no https://web.archive.org/web/20220120143123/http://www.regjeringen.no/globalassets/upload/kilde/hod/pla/2006/0001/ddd/pdfv/273635-beredskapsplan_pandemi.pdf 2022-01-20 2006-02-16 live Flu pandemics in NorwayJuly 2014 Pandemic Influenza A virus subtype Population infectedPeople infected (approx) Deaths Case fatality rate(per 1000) Spanish flu H1N1 45% 2 million 28,574 6,45 Asian flu H2N2 30-80% 1.3-3.5 million 2,632 0.59 Hong Kong flu H3N2 15-40% 665,000-1.8 million 3,291 0.74 Russian flu H2N2 9% 400,000 0 0.00 Preparations Norway had a stockpile of 1.4 million doses of Tamiflu and had ordered 200,000 doses of RelenzaJuly 2014. The Norwegian Institute of Public Health (FHI) said on 5 January that it would be only a matter of time before the virus was transmitted within Norway, and that cases of travelers falling ill should be expected within the next few weeks. According to the FHI, efforts at the time were being made to reduce the spread of the virus in Norway.http://www.fhi.no/eway/default.aspx?pid=233&trg=MainLeft_5799&MainArea_5661=5799:0:15,5008:1:0:0:::0:0&MainLeft_5799=5544:76458::1:5800:1:::0:0 Daglig oppdatering om situasjonen i Norge - Folkehelseinstituttet www.fhi.no https://web.archive.org/web/20090519052400/http://www.fhi.no/eway/default.aspx?pid=233&trg=MainLeft_5799&MainArea_5661=5799%3A0%3A15%2C5008%3A1%3A0%3A0%3A%3A%3A0%3A0&MainLeft_5799=5544%3A76458%3A%3A1%3A5800%3A1%3A%3A%3A0%3A0 2009-05-19 As of 15 May, the Norwegian government lifted their advisory against travel to Mexico, even so, people with increased risk of infection were advised to reconsider the need to travel.http://www.pandemi.no/pandemi/aktuelt/frar_der_ikke_lenger_mexico_reiser_401154 Folkehelseinstituttet In early May, Norway pre-ordered 4.7 million doses of the then not-yet-developed Swine Influenza vaccine.

For myself and for the government it is important to follow up on the advice from the Pandemic Committee... This is also in line with professional advice from the health institutions. Vaccine As of the fall of 2009, Norway was supplied with 9.4 million doses of the influenza vaccine from GlaxoSmithKline July 2014; every Norwegian could be given up to two doses. The vaccine was intended to be ready for use after clinical trials in November or December July 2014, however, because swine influenza still was considered to be a mild disease, the influenza vaccine could not be used without approval by the European Medicines Agency (EMEA) July 2014 May I suggest a EU law as the cite here?. Distribution Norway had enough vaccine for every citizen by the fall of 2009 July 2014. Health personnel, as well as people with an increased risk of complications, were advised to receive early vaccinations July 2014. The Healthcare Ministry provided recommendations for which groups to prioritize in vaccination distribution July 2014.
