Authorities “2nd quarter vaccination plan will proceed without disruption…do not review plan change”
The quarantine authorities corresponded to the’Cautions’ for vaccination announced by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) on 20 domestic cases in which brain blood clots were found after receiving AstraZeneca’s novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19) vaccine on the 20th. Said that.
Park Young-joon, head of the adverse reaction investigation support team of the Corona 19 Vaccination Response Promotion Team, responded to a related question at a regular online briefing on the day, saying, “The result of an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) test was confirmed as a cerebral vein thrombus.” “I confirmed the findings that I could be suspicious of this.”
CVST is one of the cases in which the European Medicines Agency (EMA) has announced that it will conduct further analysis without excluding its association with AstraZeneca vaccination.
However, EMA has tentatively concluded that the AstraZeneca vaccine is not associated with an increased overall risk of blood clots.
Team leader Park said, “We are currently testing the causative factor,” and said, “We will evaluate the relevance (with vaccination) through the examination of the provincial rapid response team (if the results are available), and then the damage investigation team.”
A patient in their 20s in Korea, who is a Corona 19 response agent, developed headache and chills for two days from the 10th of the last vaccination, and the situation continued to worsen until the 14th to 15th, and as a result of detailed medical treatment, the findings of thrombosis were confirmed.
Authorities said that EMA has not ruled out the causality between the AstraZeneca vaccine and the very rare occurrence of thrombosis, but currently has no plans to change the vaccination schedule.
“The government is planning to proceed with vaccinations smoothly in accordance with the previously announced vaccination plan for the second quarter,” said Byeong-taek Bae, head of the situation general manager of the promotion group. “We are not currently reviewing changes to the existing vaccination plan.” yunhap news
