The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare has revealed that five women in their 20s and 50s who have been vaccinated with the new coronavirus have reported allergic symptoms called "anaphylaxis."
All of them are improving their symptoms.
According to the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, five new cases of anaphylaxis were reported by women in their 20s to 50s.
According to reports from medical institutions, five people had symptoms such as hives, sore throat, and numbness in both hands within 30 minutes after vaccination with the new coronavirus developed by American pharmaceutical giant Pfizer on the 8th. It means that it was confirmed.
One had no underlying illness, and the remaining four had asthma, as well as allergies to medicines and food, all of whom had improved symptoms.
By 5 pm on the 8th, more than 70,000 healthcare workers had been vaccinated nationwide, bringing the total number of reported anaphylaxis to eight.
All eight are women, and a research committee of the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare will soon verify the causal relationship with vaccination.
Akira Oka, director of Saitama Children's Medical Center, who serves as the chairman of the study group, said, "Overseas data also show that there are many women, and it seems that the tendency is the same." Some people have had no history of illness, so it is important to establish an appropriate medical system and provide information. "
