AstraZeneca (AZ) vaccination has been temporarily suspended in some European countries for reasons such as’thrombogenesis’.
In addition, it was confirmed that the AstraZeneca vaccine with a specific serial number (lot number) related to blood clot reporting was not supplied in Korea.
The Novel Coronavirus Infectious Disease (Corona 19) Vaccination Response Promotion Team said at a regular briefing on the 12th that “a vaccine with the same serial number (ABV 5300) related to the trend of stopping AstraZeneca vaccination in some European countries has not been imported into Korea.” .
The promotion team said, “As of 0 o’clock today, a total of 54,6,277 people were vaccinated, but there were no cases reported as similar adverse reactions such as thromboembolism.” If it happens, I will take action quickly,” he added.
Earlier in Austria, two women vaccinated with the same serial number (batch ABV 5300) AstraZeneca vaccine at the same time in Austria had adverse events related to thrombosis. They had no underlying disease.
When a 49-year-old woman died of a’severe coagulation disorder’, Ostraa authorities stopped vaccinating the serial number.
Vaccines with this serial number have been supplied to 17 European countries, and four countries, including Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Luxembourg, have stopped using the same vaccine.
Denmark has stopped vaccinating the AstZeneca vaccine for two weeks at all. This is an action after a 60-year-old woman who received the vaccination with the serial number in question died of a blood clot.
However, neither Austria nor Denmark has confirmed a link between death and vaccination.
Italy temporarily suspended vaccination of the AstraZeneca vaccine with serial number’ABV 2856′. According to local media, it was related to two deaths in Sicily, and a causal relationship with the vaccine was not confirmed.
Romania did the same as Italy. The two countries continue to receive vaccines with different serial numbers.

The promotion team said, “The European Medicines Agency (EMA) announced on the 10th that the causality between the cause of death and the vaccine was not recognized, and explained that thromboembolism was not confirmed as an adverse reaction in the clinical trial of the vaccine.”
Unlike European countries, the Canadian and Mexican governments announced that they would proceed with the AstraZeneca vaccination as planned.
Health Canada said in its description that “at now, there is no indication that the AstraZeneca vaccine has caused adverse reactions.”
Our health authorities stressed that Europe is not distrusting the AstraZeneca vaccine itself.
Sohn Young-rae, head of the Social Strategy Division, Central Accident Recovery Headquarters (heavy water version), said at a briefing on the day that “the supply and vaccination of a specific serial number vaccine has been stopped to confirm the contents of a blood clot report.” , Because some countries have stopped only the serial number, you have to look at it separately,” he said.
