Norway will offer a third Covid-19 vaccine dose to everyone aged 18 or older and will give municipalities the option of using digital “corona passes” as a way to beat back an ongoing surge in Covid-19 infections, the government has said, according to Reuters.

Norway has so far only given a third dose to those aged 65 and older.

“Everyone aged 18 and older will be offered a third dose next year,” Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Stoere told a news conference.
