Ahead of vaccination for the novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19), which will begin on the 26th, there are still concerns about side effects and safety. However, experts say that there is no problem with both safety and efficacy in vaccines to be vaccinated in Korea.
On the 23rd, Dr. Man-ki Song of International Vaccine Research Institute appeared at the news factory of Eo-Jun Kim on TBS Radio and said, “There are almost no questions about safety, although 200 million people worldwide have already received the vaccine (Corona 19).” It is a situation where control is possible and there is no problem.”
He added, “Depending on the vaccine, there may be more pain or a little more fever, but safety concerns, such as a threat to life, have been resolved.”
Dr. Song said in relation to the side effects of AstraZeneca (AZ) vaccine that some people have raised, “AstraZeneca vaccine is a significant number of vaccines in the world, and there are more than 5 million people in the UK alone, but there is no safety problem.” Dismissed.
Earlier, Reuters reported that doctors in a hospital in Normandy, France, after receiving the AZ vaccine, had more side effects than those of the Pfizer vaccine. In fact, as more medical staff complained of feeling fever or nausea after vaccination, some hospitals in western France were reported to slow down the rate of AZ vaccination for medical staff.

Regarding the government’s policy of limiting AstraZeneca vaccinations to people under the age of 65, he said, “Because the number of clinical trials over 65 years old is not large enough, it is safe to wait until additional clinical results in March are available. “It’s not that we don’t do it,” he added. “All experts say that safety is secured once.”
Dr. Song said, “There is an incidence rate of about one per 100,000 people, but the number is not large” regarding the vaccine side effects reported so far. There is enough contrast.” For vaccines currently being vaccinated, most of the safety issues are controllable or non-issue.
Dr. Song said, “The five vaccines (purchased by the government) are now being proved to be especially severe prevention and very significantly lowering deaths.” It is important to consider whether or not to inoculate properly. Invoking controversy over vaccine safety is an act that lowers the inoculation rate and poses a threat to the safety of people’s lives.”
