[사회]European Medicines Agency “No vaccine or blood clot related”…Government inoculates as planned

[앵커]

The European Medicines Agency’EMA’ determined that there was no link between the AstraZeneca vaccine and the increased risk of blood clots.

The European Medicines Agency’s EMA has concluded that the AstraZeneca vaccine has no association with increasing the risk of blood clots.

However, here is a long clue

He referred to very rare cases of blood clots related to thrombocytopenia, and emphasized that the investigation should be continued.

Women under 50 years of age had more cases of cerebral vein thrombosis or disseminated intravascular coagulation than usual.

This singularity has not been identified in the elderly.

[김우주 / 고대구로병원 감염내과 교수 : (우리나라 혈전 보고된) 20대 남성 사례와 이게 겹치면서 같이 의심을 해볼 수밖에 없는… 결국 (다른 백신과) 차이는 침팬지 아데노바이러스 벡터라는 것이고, 병리 기전으로 혈전 형성에 어떤 기여를 하느냐 규명이 필요하겠죠.]

Of course, even such a specific case has not been confirmed for vaccine relevance.

Caution is required before and after vaccination. If certain symptoms develop after receiving the AstraZeneca vaccine, a visit to the hospital was recommended.

[백순영 / 가톨릭대 의대 명예교수 : (접종 뒤) 2∼3일이 지나도 두통이 나아지지 않거나 시야가 흐려지거나 가슴 통증이 있거나 붓거나 하는 현상이 생기면 의료기관에 방문하셔서 응급처치를….]

The government has a policy to proceed with vaccination as planned.

Starting next week, senior citizens aged 65 years or older in nursing hospitals and nursing facilities will receive the AstraZeneca vaccine.

There is no change in the judgment that vaccination for the elderly who are vulnerable to COVID-19 infection is the top priority.

As a result of confirmation by some local governments, it was found that the rate of consent was low, with only 50% of patients in nursing hospitals who consented to vaccination.

[천은미 / 이대목동병원 호흡기내과 교수 : 접종 당일 아침에 급성 염증과 혈전에 대한 혈액 검사 등을 통해서 정상인 상태에서 접종하고, 이상 반응이 있을 때는 인과관계를 확인하는 것이 접종률을 높일 방법이라고 생각합니다.]

In order to relieve vaccination anxiety, the government will finalize the causality of vaccines and blood clots on the 22nd after expert discussions based on EMA evaluation.
