Although the percentage is higher than in previous surveys, the doctors involved in the survey said, "Since many of the symptoms are relatively mild, don't worry too much and don't miss the opportunity to inoculate."
The results of the survey were released by the Self-Defense Forces Central Hospital, which is promoting the vaccination of Moderna at a large-scale vaccination center in Otemachi, Tokyo.
According to the analysis, as a result of analyzing 40,2017 people including elderly people who completed vaccination in the week from July 1, about 1 in 18 people had red or swollen arms. There were 2369 people, or 5.6% of the total, of which 83% were women.
Symptoms began 4 days after the first vaccination to 21 days in the latest case, often around a week.

The percentage of modelna arms that appear is 0.8% in overseas clinical trials and 3.5% in a survey of SDF personnel conducted by a national research team, which is slightly higher in this survey of general vaccinations.
Mr. Kaisa Tamura, a medical officer of the Self-Defense Forces Sasebo Hospital who was involved in the investigation, said, "There are many women, and there is a possibility that there are more in younger ages. The symptoms themselves are often relatively mild, even if you hit the second time. There is no problem, so don't worry too much and don't miss the opportunity to inoculate. "
