[아시아경제 이현우 기자] The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that 11 out of 1 million people had an allergic reaction to anaphylaxis after Pfizer’s new coronavirus infection (Corona 19) vaccination. Revealed. However, with the number of daily confirmed cases in the United States approaching 4,000, he stressed that vaccination is necessary, saying that the benefit is greater than the potential risk of the vaccine. Pfizer’s vaccine has been reported to have a growing fear of side effects after a nurse in her 40s who had no underlying disease in Portugal recently died two days after vaccination, along with the occurrence of allergic side effects in all parts of the world.
According to foreign media such as CNBC, CDC said in a press briefing held on the 6th (local time) that out of 1.9 million people who received Pfizer vaccination in the United States last month, 21 had an allergic reaction to anaphylaxis, at a rate of 11 per million. This is known to be about 10 times the average allergic reaction of the general flu vaccine, 1.3 people per million.
CDC said that as of today, 29 cases have occurred compared to 5.3 million people who received the vaccine, which is the ratio of 5.5 people per million. Anaphylaxis allergy symptoms, a side effect of the corona vaccine, are also known as hypersensitivity reactions and can cause breathing difficulties, rashes, fainting, and even death in severe cases.
“It is true that there was a higher allergic reaction compared to the flu vaccine,” said Nancy Messonier, director of the CDC’s National Center for Immunorespiratory Diseases. “I want more people to get the vaccine sooner,” he said. The allergic reaction itself can occur with any vaccine, and it is known from the US health authorities’ position that the current Corona 19 situation is much more urgent, so the vaccine must be given.
The spread of Corona 19 in the United States has seldom broken. In the Corona 19 statistics of Johns Hopkins University that day, the number of daily deaths in the United States was 3775, a record high. To date, the number of cumulative confirmed cases in the United States was 22,251,179, and the cumulative death was 3,599,77. It is predicted that the spread of the virus will become more severe in the future, with mutant viruses being discovered across the United States.
On the other hand, Pfizer’s vaccine has increased safety concerns as cases of anaphylaxis allergy side effects have been reported not only in the United States, but also in Israel and Portugal, with three deaths. In particular, fear has increased since the case of a nurse in her 40s who died two days after vaccination in Portugal on the 1st.
