This month, a woman in her 40s who was vaccinated against the new coronavirus at a mass vaccination venue in Aisai City, Aichi Prefecture, died at the hospital to which she was transported due to a sudden change in her condition immediately after vaccination.
The Aichi Medical Association has decided to verify whether there were any problems with the response after the sudden change at a committee specializing in verifying medical accidents, as a serious case.
According to Aisai City, on the 5th of this month, a new corona vaccine was administered at the Saori General Welfare Center in Aisai City, and the condition suddenly changed 5 minutes after a woman in her 40s was vaccinated.
Doctors at the venue responded and the woman was transported to the hospital by ambulance, but died one and a half hours after vaccination.
According to the city, the woman has an underlying disease and this was her fourth vaccination.
The Aichi Medical Association considers this matter to be a serious matter, and will have it examined by the Medical Safety Committee, which specializes in examining medical adverse events.
Specifically, we will check the details of how the woman's physical condition changed and the measures taken after the sudden change in her condition, and verify whether there were any problems with the response.
Mitsuaki Sakaki, president of the Aichi Medical Association, said, "It is possible that the woman had suffered an anaphylactic shock. We consider this to be a serious case that led to her death. I want to respond and verify."
