The number of cases in Korea that reported adverse reactions after receiving the Corona 19 vaccine was high among women in their 20s.
The authorities have concluded that of the 16 deaths reported as cases of death after vaccination, 14 are not related to the vaccine, and two of them will be judged based on the autopsy results.

Of the 269,000 vaccinated people in the past week, 4,700, or 1.77 percent, reported suspected adverse events.
In terms of gender, the reporting rate of adverse reactions was 2.1% for women, more than twice that for men.
By age group, the reporting rate of abnormal reactions was higher as younger people were younger, with 3.6% in their 20s, 1.7% in their 30s, 1.2% in their 40s, 0.8% in their 50s, and 0.5% in their 60s.
The most common adverse reaction symptoms were muscle pain, followed by fever, headache, and chills.
As a result of a survey by the quarantine authorities of 18,000 people who received the vaccine, 32.8% of the respondents complained of discomfort such as pain and fatigue at the vaccination site after receiving the vaccine.
The quarantine authorities have guided how to deal with these symptoms, saying that most of these symptoms are naturally occurring during the immune formation process.

He stressed the need to seek medical attention if these symptoms persist or worsen.
In addition, a second analysis of the cause of six of the 16 reported dying after receiving the vaccine came to a tentative conclusion that it was not related to vaccination.
[김중곤 / 예방접종피해조사반장 : 조사대상 6건의 사망사례 중 4건은 예방접종과 직접적인 인과성이 확인되지 않았고 2건은 부검결과를 확인한 후에 재평가하기로 했습니다.]
Accordingly, it was found that the cause of death in 14 people, including the first 8 people, was not related to the vaccine.
