European countries are releasing the results of the safety evaluation of the Corona 19 vaccine one after another.
An analysis of 1.56 million Pfizer and Modena vaccines in Italy showed that the incidence of side effects was only 0.47%.
On the other hand, contrary to the announcement of the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety that AstraZeneca should be carefully determined whether or not to inoculate AstraZeneca over the age of 65, the UK said that the elderly had a strong immune response.

The Italian Medicines Agency released the analysis results on the side effects of the vaccine received from the end of December last year to the end of last month on the 4th local time.
Pfizer’s vaccine is mostly 99%, and the remaining 1% is Modena vaccine.
According to the data, out of 1.56 million vaccines, side effects were reported at 7,300, and the incidence of side effects was 0.47%.
92.4% of all side effects were mild symptoms such as pain, fever, fatigue, and muscle pain at the injection site.
Serious side effects were reported in 7.6% of all cases, of which three-quarters were those who did not require hospital treatment.
In addition, 13 people died after vaccination, but it is not related to vaccination because it is mostly due to individual health characteristics such as chronic disease, the Italian Medicines Agency explained.
Meanwhile, the UK reiterated that the AstraZeneca vaccine has proven to be effective in the elderly over the age of 65.
Sir Pirmohamed, chairman of the Working Group Committee on Human Medicines for Humans in the UK, said, “As a result of receiving additional data from AstraZeneca, a strong immune response was found even in the elderly who received the vaccine.”
In addition, a research team at Oxford University who developed the AstraZeneca vaccine says it has confirmed that the vaccine is also effective in the UK mutation.
