The quarantine authorities said, “We will monitor and respond to the adverse effects of a novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19) vaccine developed by US biotechnology company Modena.”

Jung Eun-kyung, head of the Central Defense Countermeasure Headquarters, said this at the Corona 19 regular briefing held in Osong, Chungbuk, on the afternoon of the 26th.

“The official data so far are expected to be in-depth statistics and analysis of side effects reported in the results of clinical trials conducted for the approval of the vaccine.” The number of people who received the vaccination directly was about 20,000, which is small. “We are also preparing to collect, analyze, and respond to adverse reactions, statistics, and information reported after vaccination has been administered in earnest.”

He added, “The quarantine authorities are preparing medical responses for examinations, epidemiological investigations, and hospital bed security, vaccines, and detailed vaccination plans.”

According to the New York Times (NYT) on the 25th (local time) earlier, a doctor in Boston had a severe allergic reaction after getting a modder or vaccine. Boston Medical Center oncologist, Dr. Josein Sargerday, originally had a shellfish allergy, and within minutes after getting modder or vaccinated, his heart rate soared to 150 beats per minute. In a statement, the Boston Medical Center said, “Dr. Sargerday was treated in the emergency room and discharged from the hospital.”
