China News Service, March 9th. According to a report from Korea Broadcasting International (KBS), the Korean New Coronary Vaccination Injury Investigation Team issued a preliminary conclusion on the 8th that the cause of death of people who died after being vaccinated was not related to vaccination.
As of the 6th, none of the eight deceased subjects had severe allergic reactions, but died due to the deterioration of underlying diseases such as cerebrovascular diseases.
It has been confirmed that no serious adverse reactions have occurred to those who were vaccinated on the same day or in the same institution. The possibility of problems with the new crown vaccine itself or the wrong vaccination process is very low.
However, half of the deceased who are included in the investigation are still undergoing an autopsy, and the authorities will make further judgments based on the results of the autopsy.
South Korea began vaccinating the new crown vaccine on February 26.
As of 0:00 local time on March 9, a total of 383,346 people had completed their first vaccination.
After vaccination, 4851 cases were suspected of having abnormal reactions, 4790 of which had headache, fever, nausea, and vomiting that were common after vaccination.
A total of 13 deaths were reported after vaccination.
The epidemic prevention authority explained that these reported cases are only suspected of abnormal reactions after vaccination, and the causality with vaccination has not been confirmed.
In addition, the authorities will decide within this week whether to vaccinate the AstraZeneca new crown vaccine for people over 65 years old. Some experts believe that people over 65 years old can be vaccinated.
