[농업경제신문=박찬식 기자] The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said that severe allergic reactions to modders or vaccines are very rare.
Reuters reported that, citing CDC data on the 23rd (local time), anaphylaxis, a life-threatening allergic reaction to the Corona 19 vaccine Modena, occurred at a rate of 2.5 cases (0.00025%) per 1 million doses.
According to the institution’s mortality and mortality weekly report, as of January 10, 10 cases (0.000227%) of anaphylaxis were reported among the 4.4 million people who first received Modena’s two-dose vaccine.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warned that the risk of anaphylaxis is difficult to compare simply because it is still in the early stages of its vaccine program.
Anaphylaxis is a symptom that appears as a shock to a person who has an allergic reaction to the component when foreign substances such as food or drugs enter the body. There are cases of bee sting and death, which is also a type of anaphylaxis.
The CDC found that the characteristics of severe allergic reactions to the Moder or vaccine were similar to those reported by the Pfizer vaccine. Earlier this month, it reported that severe allergic reactions to Pfizer vaccine occurred at a rate of 11.1 (0.00111%) per million cases.
On the CDC side, both Pfizer and Modena showed symptoms within minutes of vaccination, and were more common among women. Many people who experienced the symptoms had a history of allergic reactions, and some said they had experienced anaphylaxis in the past.
The FDA said it was necessary to have the necessary supplies at the place where the Corona 19 vaccine is administered, and that the treatment should be immediately injected if a suspected case occurs.
Korea has signed a contract for 20 million modders or vaccines. Moder and related stocks include Abpro Bio, Pharmicel, SK Chemicals, N2Tech, and Kumho HT. Pfizer decided to supply 10 million vaccines to Korea. Pfizer-related stocks include KPX Life Science, KPX Holdings, Celltrion, Shinpoong Pharmaceutical, Jeil Pharm, and Woori Bio.
