"A side effect? ​​Resignation for getting a vaccine"... Rejected by some medical staff

<Anchor>

As the number of patients increases like this, I think of more vaccines.

AstraZeneca vaccination will begin in elderly nursing facilities on the 26th, next Friday, and there is a movement among medical staff not to get the vaccine.

Some voices say they would rather quit work if the hospital tells them to be beaten.

Medical reporter Cho Dong-chan Let’s look at the report first and continue the story.

<Reporter>

I am a nurse working at an elderly nursing hospital in the metropolitan area.

The AstraZeneca vaccine was the priority target, but I decided not to get it.

[Vaccination refusal nurse A: I learned that a serious side effect occurred during the clinical trial, after it was recently confirmed.

Because there is no clear explanation for that (I refused to be vaccinated)] The

government's anti-repeat vaccine policy also raised distrust.

[Vaccination refusal nurse A: In the case of Pfizer or Modena, nursing hospitals weren't the first.

(Because it changed to AstraZeneca) Am I not the subject of the experiment for the change of priority to (nursing hospital)?]

All four nurses working in the same area of ​​this hospital did not give consent for vaccination until yesterday (17th), the application deadline. .

Some hospitals, which became urgent, even forced vaccinations, but the resistance was strong.

[Nurse who refuses vaccination B: (If the hospital director asks for a job exclusion?) If there is a side effect, the hospital will not provide any coverage, and in fact, I will write a resignation if it says it does.]

A nurse online community has been writing about refusing vaccination.

The bigger problem is that the denial of vaccination is even showing signs of spreading to the public.

As a result of a self-investigation in a large elderly nursing hospital, the rate of rejection of vaccination among workers including medical personnel was 22%, but 29% of hospitalized patients under the age of 65.

[Son Deok-Hyun/President of the Korea Nursing Hospital Association: It is not that those who say they are not right now do not continue to be right, but because most of them will be right after seeing the status of the first vaccination.]

Some doctors distrust the entire corona vaccine, saying they are against compulsory vaccination. We issued a statement that was signed by 1,417 medical officials including doctors, pharmacists, and nurses within three days.

Jo Dong-chan is a medical reporter.

[Cho Dong-chan/medical journalist (specialist): Yes, 6.6 million Pfizer vaccines have been hit in the UK right now.

The AstraZeneca vaccine hit 3 million people.

Let's take a look at the latest data on side effects.

Pfizer has 59,000 minor side effects such as headache and fever, and 42,000 AstraZeneca, but an acute allergic reaction called anaphylaxis.

In other words, the serious side effects were 130 cases for Pfizer and 30 cases for AstraZeneca.

AstraZeneca has a higher frequency of mild side effects and Pfizer has a higher frequency of serious side effects.

The British government's conclusion is that both are safe, and vaccines are the most effective solution.

During the clinical trial of AstraZeneca, a case of side effects of transverse myelitis, that is, a case of paralysis of a limb, has been known, but not only the UK but also the US FDA said it was not related to the vaccine.]

[Dong-chan Cho/medical reporter (specialist): Yes, Pfizer's 95%, Modena's 94.5%, and AstraZeneca's 82.4% were the preventive effects in the final clinical trial.

Falling is right

Clinical trials are relatively small, so there can be a difference of as much as 10% by only 10 people, and above all, the AstraZeneca vaccine prevention effect can be sufficient.]

[Dong-chan Cho/medical reporter (specialist): So I asked the nurse who refused to get vaccination directly what he would do.]

[

Nurse who

refused vaccination: (The Korean Food and Drug Administration approved it and recommended by the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.) In fact, they are correct? ?

If you say that the Minister of Food and Drug Safety or the Director of Disease Control and Prevention will prove it, I will think about it.]

[Dong-chan Jo/Medicine reporter (specialist):

I think

quarantine authorities should also consider the method of vaccination first.]
