On the 19th, Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun gave an urgent order to the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, saying, “Please convene a vaccination expert committee promptly.” As the controversy over the safety of the AstraZeneca (AZ) vaccine for the prevention of novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19) continues, the intention is to clarify the facts to relieve anxiety.
Prime Minister Chung said, “The World Health Organization (WHO) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA) have each announced the results of discussions such as an expert committee on the point that’AZ vaccination and blood clots are not related.’ Considering the verification results of the same international organization and the adverse reaction cases confirmed so far, we believe that there is no reason to stop the AZ vaccination currently in progress in Korea.”
However, “Considering the situation that the AstraZeneca vaccine needs to be continuously expanded, the public should not have any doubts or anxiety about the safety of the AstraZeneca vaccine.” He instructed that the evaluation data such as EMA and domestic adverse reaction cases should be thoroughly reviewed with experts and clearly stated.”
In addition, Prime Minister Chung said to the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, “Please perform a professional and scientific evaluation on the possibility of causing blood clots of AZ vaccine and disclose the results transparently.”
