[앵커]

Until now, all five people who died after vaccination were hospitalized in nursing hospitals with underlying diseases.

If you are a person with an underlying disease such as cardio-cerebrovascular disease or diabetes, it is a situation where vaccination may be reluctant.

Reporter Hyung-won Lee will tell you whether you can get the vaccine and what are the precautions.

All five people who died after receiving the AstraZeneca vaccine have underlying medical conditions.

These are patients in nursing hospitals who have long suffered from cardio-cerebrovascular disease, diabetes, and epilepsy.

Some of the suspected cases of’anaphylaxis’, which is a serious adverse reaction, have also confirmed underlying diseases such as high blood pressure.

If you usually have this kind of disease, you may be worried about getting a vaccine, but even overseas, where a lot of vaccinations have been made, a link between the vaccine and the victim case has not been confirmed.

Experts stress that getting the vaccine is far more beneficial than avoiding the vaccination due to excessive anxiety.

[이혁민 / 세브란스 진단검사의학과 교수 : 60대 이상의 기저 질환자 같은 경우에는 거의 5~10% 정도 치사율이 되거든요. (백신을 맞으면 예방 효과 외에) 중증환자로 가는 것은 거의 확실하게 막아주는 것으로 보입니다. 이러한 고위험군에 해당하시는 분들은 반드시 예방접종하실 것을….]

For this reason, in all countries, people with underlying diseases are ranked first for vaccination.

However, it is better to postpone vaccination if the disease worsens or if you are in a bad condition.

Also, after getting the vaccine, you should stay at a medical institution for about 30 minutes to see if there are any abnormal symptoms.

Even afterwards, if you suddenly have a fever of 39 degrees or more or symptoms of dyspnea appear, it is important to go to the emergency room for treatment.
