Not only Korea, but also Europe is confused over the safety of vaccines.

Sweden has suspended Janssen vaccination, and Denmark has stopped using the AstraZeneca vaccine for the first time in the world.

Swedish health officials have announced that they are temporarily suspending the vaccine vaccination plan for Corona 19 Janssen.



This is in response to U.S. health officials recommending that the Janssen vaccine be discontinued because of a side effect of blood clots.



Swedish authorities are planning to postpone vaccination until the European Medicines Agency has released the results of a review of the Janssen vaccine.



The European Medicines Agency predicted that the Safety Committee is currently reviewing cases of thrombotic side effects following the Janssen vaccination and will announce the results of the review sometime next week.



The first shipments of the Janssen vaccine produced in the U.S. have been arriving in Europe several days ago, but their use has been delayed due to concerns about side effects.



In Denmark, a decision was made to stop vaccination against AstraZeneca, which also reported adverse events of blood clots.



This is the first time in the world that vaccination itself has been completely stopped regardless of age.



However, Danish authorities have left room for the ability to resume use of the AstraZeneca vaccine at any time if the situation changes.

In the midst of this, the White House has already reported 600 million doses of Pfizer and Modder even if Janssen vaccination is stopped. I secured the vaccine and said that there would be no disruption to the vaccination plan.
