At a mass vaccination venue in Aisai City, Aichi Prefecture, a woman who received a new coronavirus vaccine died due to a sudden change in her condition immediately after vaccination. I reported the verification result that I should have injected adrenaline into the muscle without using it.
Physician chairman: “The impact on future vaccination projects is extremely large”
On the 5th of this month, at a group vaccination venue in Aisai City, Aichi Prefecture, Ayano Iioka (42), who received the 4th dose of the new corona vaccine, complained of shortness of breath 5 minutes after the vaccination. He was transported and died approximately one-and-a-half hours later.
Regarding this, the Aichi Medical Association held an emergency medical safety committee on the 15th to verify the medical accident, and held a press conference on the 17th about the details.
At the press conference, Mr. Iioka said, ``It was not possible to clarify because there was no autopsy,'' as to whether he had anaphylactic shock after vaccination, but he complained of symptoms such as coughing and shortness of breath. He pointed out that ``anaphylaxis was strongly suspected.
On the other hand, Mr. Iioka said that his symptoms had deteriorated rapidly from the time he started coughing after the vaccination to the time the doctor rushed to the hospital. It is highly probable that even if adrenaline was administered at that time, life could not have been saved."
Under such circumstances, there was a problem with the system that could not administer adrenaline immediately, and it was necessary to prepare a cooperative system that would anticipate the occurrence of anaphylaxis not only by the doctor but also by all the staff at the venue in the event of a sudden change in the condition. He also pointed out that it was necessary to confirm a cooperative system that could quickly administer adrenaline at the time of the outbreak.
At a press conference, Aichi Medical Association chairman Mitsuaki Sakaki said, "While mass vaccinations are being widely practiced, this incident will have a significant impact on the future vaccination business, and the medical association deliberated quickly and accurately." I was.
Bereaved family ``Everything is vague at the conference''
Eiji, the husband of the deceased Ayano Iioka, held a press conference in Aisai City following the publication of the verification results by the Aichi Medical Association.
Regarding the announcement by the Prefectural Medical Association, Mr. Eiji said, "In the end, I said that it was anaphylaxis, but there was no judgment that it was so, and I think it was an ambiguous interview."
After that, "I want you to do a more thorough investigation. It is said that it may be anaphylaxis, but there is a high possibility that he died even if he was injected with adrenaline." I feel that there is what you are saying, and I am only angry."
He added, "This time, I have not received any explanation. I have been investigating and reporting without permission. I was not notified even before the report. I can't forgive you," he said angrily.
