[사회]The national curiosity about vaccines is… “How much is the safety and effectiveness?”

[앵커]

A seat was prepared to solve the public’s curiosity regarding the Corona 19 vaccine ahead of this month’s vaccination.

A special briefing was held to properly inform vaccine information and reduce public anxiety and vaccination resistance.

The information the people most wanted to know was the safety and effectiveness of the vaccine.

A special briefing was held to address the public’s curiosity so that there is no reluctance to receive the COVID-19 vaccine starting this month.

The Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention gathered questions from men and women in their 20s to 60s, as well as the elderly, and the curiosity about vaccines was largely focused on safety and effectiveness.

[정우진 / 대학생 : 코로나19 백신은 다른 질병의 백신 개발 기간보다 훨씬 짧다고 알려졌습니다. 문제가 발생할 수 있다는 것에 대한 국민의 심리적 저항감이 매우 크다고 생각하는데….]

Vaccine development usually takes 10 years, this time less than a year, but experts diagnose that there is no significant safety concern.

[최원석 / 고려대 안산병원 감염내과 교수 : 팬데믹이라는 상황 때문에 아주 많은 연구비 그리고 행정적인 검토, 준비가 병행됐습니다. (이렇게 기간 단축됐더라도) 피험자의 숫자, 진행되는 과정이 생략되었던 것이라고 볼 수는 없다….]

In the controversy over exposure to the flu vaccine at room temperature last year, there were also questions about whether the vaccine will be stored properly, or how to check side effects.

[정은경 / 질병관리청장 : (냉동·냉장) 두 가지 그런 유형에 따른 백신에 대한 유통·보관지침을 마련해서 시행하고 있고요. 예진 과정에 혹시 약물이나 백신이나 여러 가지 음식에 대한 알레르기가 있으신지 (말씀하고)….]

Regarding the effect, various inquiries have been poured out from the antibody production rate and duration to the recently appeared mutant defense.

[남재환 / 가톨릭대 의생명과학과 교수 : (각 백신이) 최소한 90%에서 거의 100%까지의 항체생성률을 보여주고 있습니다. 얼마 동안 이 백신의 방어 능력이 유지될지는 정확한 답을 드리기는 어렵습니다. 영국 변이 바이러스에 대해서는 (방어력이 확인돼) 큰 걱정을 안 하셔도 됩니다.]

However, it is revealed that there are many mutant viruses that reduce the effectiveness of existing vaccines, such as the South African mutation, so related research is underway.

Even considering the appearance of such mutations or concerns about side effects, he said that getting the vaccine would be much more beneficial, and he stressed that high-risk groups should not avoid vaccination.

[남재환 / 가톨릭대 의생명과학과 교수 : 2회 접종 이후 2주 후에도 질병청에서 국내 발생 환자가 거의 없고 괜찮다고 할 때까지 마스크를 반드시 끼시고 사회적 거리 두기를 항상 유지하시는 것이 좋습니다.]

Even if 4 out of 5 family members were beaten, the other 1 must also be vaccinated, and immediately after vaccination, they must stay at a medical institution for at least 15 minutes to observe any signs of abnormality.
