(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Jung Yoon-joo and Park Won-hee = AstraZeneca vaccination was withheld because of a’thrombosis’ in some European countries, and blood clots were reported in patients who died after vaccination in Korea.
According to the medical community on the 17th, a blood clot is a blood clot formed by blood clots in a blood vessel.
It is a lump of blood that is hardened and is sometimes referred to as’blood cake’.
When blood clots block blood vessels, blood cannot flow, leading to diseases such as thrombosis. In severe cases, blood vessels can be blocked and the surrounding tissues can be necrotized. Cardiac arrest may occur because the skin becomes dark or the organs are not functioning properly.
When a blood clot is formed in a blood vessel and exists as a lump, a part of it falls off and blocks blood vessels in other organs such as the lungs, heart, and brain, which is called thromboembolism.

Thrombosis and thromboembolism are common in older people.
Park Young-joon, head of the adverse reaction investigation support team of the Corona 19 Vaccination Response Promotion Team, quoted US statistics at a back briefing that day, saying, “Thrombosis occurs in more than 100 people per 100,000 people, and blood clots in more than 500 people per 100,000 people in their 80s and over. I can do it.”
Kim Jung-gon, head of the vaccination investigation team, also said, “After 60’s, blood clots are common. Many people take a small amount of aspirin to prevent blood clots.”
According to them, blood clots occur frequently in everyday life.
“If you sit for a long time or lie down for a long time, or if you are uncomfortable, blood clots are good,” Kim emphasized.
He also explained that the viscosity of the blood increases when experiencing dehydration, which leads to blood clots. If you suffer from dehydration due to sweating a lot, such as in a sauna, blood clots are easy to form.
When you smoke cigarettes or take medications such as birth control pills, blood clots can also occur when you have heart disease or arrhythmia.
“Thrombosis is a disease that can occur more often in life than a vaccine,” Kim emphasized. “There are many reasons other than vaccines for blood clots, so there is no need to be afraid of pinching only the vaccine.”
Mr. Kim said that patients with chronic diseases such as dialysis patients, who are eligible for vaccination in the second quarter, can also get the AstraZeneca vaccine.
“If you receive dialysis, blood clots can usually form, so you are given anticoagulants,” Kim said. “In the optimal condition where blood clots and bleeding do not occur, getting vaccination is helpful.”
Earlier, in some European countries, blood clots or deaths from blood clots have occurred after receiving the AstraZeneca vaccine.
The European Medicines Agency (EMA) plans to hold a special meeting on the 18th to decide what to do with the AstraZeneca vaccine.
The script is also observing the decision of the European Medicines Agency.
“It will be announced by the European Medicines Agency tomorrow, but I don’t think the formation of blood clots by vaccination will be a big problem,” Kim said.
