(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Kim Ye-na and Park Won-hee = Recently, concerns about’thrombogenesis’ have been raised over AstraZeneca (AZ)’s novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19) vaccine. It is said that it appears high.
Park Young-joon, head of the adverse reaction investigation support team of the Corona 19 Vaccination Response Promotion Team, said at a back briefing on the 17th, referring to overseas research data and saying, “As the age increases, the incidence of (thrombosis) increases.”
“A blood clot is a blood clot in a blood vessel, and a disease caused by a blood clot is called’thrombosis.” It is known,” he explained.
He noted that obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes, and old age are considered risk factors when it comes to slowing blood flow.
He continued, “If you look at foreign data released in 2016, it is known that (thrombosis) has an incidence rate of more than 100 per 100,000 people.” There is,” he added.
In particular, referring to the results of the COVID-19 vaccine clinical trial, Park emphasized that “when the incidence of thrombosis was compared between vaccinated and placebo non-vaccinated people, there are reports that the incidence of thrombosis was lower in the vaccinated group.”
Kim Jung-gon, head of the vaccination damage investigation team (Professor of the Department of Pediatrics and Adolescents, Seoul Medical Center) also emphasized that the reasons for the occurrence of blood clots vary, but that it can occur as the age increases.
“If you look at the basis of the occurrence of blood clots, it does not occur in a very peculiar disease state, but it is a phenomenon that you often encounter in your life.”
He said, “Thrombosis is a common disease in life,” he said. “There are so many reasons other than vaccines about why blood clots occur, so I think there is no need to be afraid to pinch the vaccine separately.”
“If you look at a related report from the UK, which received the most AstraZeneca vaccine, there are statistics that there is no difference in the incidence of blood clots between those who have not been vaccinated and those who have been vaccinated. (EMA) will announce the (investigation results), but I don’t think that the formation of blood clots by vaccination will be such a big problem,” he predicted.
