[사회]There is no’blood clot’ in Korea after AZ vaccination…”Getting a vaccine is beneficial”

Some countries have stopped using the AstraZeneca vaccine with a specific serial number after reporting adverse events of blood clots after vaccination.

However, the quarantine authorities said that a vaccine with the serial number has not been introduced in Korea, and there have been no reports of similar side effects yet.

Experts also emphasized the benefit of getting the vaccine, saying that there is no need to be excessively anxious about reporting side effects that are not causative.

A case of’thromboembolism’ in which blood vessels are blocked after getting AstraZeneca vaccine has been reported only overseas.

There are no reports of adverse reactions related to blood clots among over 540,000 domestic vaccinations.

A causal relationship has not been established in some countries that have discontinued use of a vaccine with a specific serial number for reporting side effects.

There were no cases of such side effects in the clinical course of AstraZeneca in the first place.

The risk of being irrelevant to the vaccine itself is weighing on it.

When looking at the size of blood clotting cases reported in Europe, some say that it is no different from what would normally occur.

Instead of being overly anxious, you should focus on the benefits of the vaccination, which will lower your mortality or worsening.

Vaccines such as the serial number in question have not entered Korea.

All of the AstraZeneca vaccines currently in use are domestically produced.
