A woman in her 60s who was vaccinated against the novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19) died in Japan.
According to Kyodo News, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare announced on the 2nd that a woman in her 60s who vaccinated the US Pfizer had died. The woman was vaccinated on the 26th of last month, and it is known that she had no underlying disease or allergic disease.
The Ministry of Health and Welfare points out that subarachnoid hemorrhage is the cause of death, and at this point, it is not possible to evaluate whether it is a side effect of vaccination, so it will review the causal relationship.
Morio Tomohiro (森尾友宏), vice chairman of the side effects review of the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Welfare, said, “There seems to be no report of the relationship between the subarachnoid hemorrhage and the Corona 19 vaccine even in overseas vaccination cases.”
In Japan, Pfizer vaccination began on the 17th of last month, and mild hives and chills have been reported as side effects of vaccination.

Meanwhile, the Japanese government is planning to pay 44.2 million yen (approximately 465 million won) to the survivors as a lump sum in case of death due to the corona 19 vaccination, regardless of the negligence of the medical institution.
In addition, a disability pension of 505,6800 yen (approximately 53 million won) per year was decided to be given to citizens who have a level 1 disability, which is a level that requires care in their daily life due to the aftereffects of the Corona 19 vaccination.
