When allergic side effects were reported after vaccinating the novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19) vaccine developed by US biotechnology company Modena, the quarantine authorities announced on the 26th that they would conduct monitoring as the number of inoculations is small.

The inoculators who had an allergic reaction after vaccinating Modena vaccine soared to 150 beats per minute, but are now discharged after treatment.

“The (Modena) vaccine phase 3 clinical trial was conducted on about 40,000 people, and the number of people directly vaccinated was about 20,000 people,” said Eun-kyung Jung, head of the Central Defense Countermeasure Headquarters. “We will continue to monitor it. “He said.

“The quarantine authorities are preparing medical responses for examinations, epidemiological investigations, and hospital bed security, vaccines, and detailed vaccination plans.” We are analyzing.”

According to the New York Times (NYT) on the 25th (local time), a doctor in Boston had a severe allergic reaction after getting a Modena vaccine. Boston Medical Center oncologist, Dr. Josein Sargerday, originally had a shellfish allergy, and within minutes after getting modder or vaccinated, his heart rate soared to 150 beats per minute.

Afterwards, Dr Sarjedei was taken to the emergency room, prescribed epinephrine, an allergy treatment, and discharged four hours later, NYT said. In a statement, the Boston Medical Center said, “Dr. Sargerday was treated in the emergency room and discharged from the hospital.”
