Health authorities have concluded that the AstraZeneca vaccine and blood clots in blood vessels are not causative.

However, of the adverse reactions reported so far, the authorities have admitted for the first time that they are related to vaccines.



This is reporter Kim Hyung-rae.



<Reporter> The



Vaccination Specialist Committee stated that thrombosis, in which blood in the blood vessels stiffens, is a relatively common disease.



Most of them are in bedridden patients, as well as in patients with infections or cancer, but a review of domestic and foreign cases revealed no association that vaccination increased the risk of blood clots.



[Eunhwa Choi/Chairman of the Vaccination Specialist Committee: The occurrence of blood clots observed after vaccination with AstraZeneca was reported to be lower than the normal incidence level.] This is



the same as the conclusion of the World Health Organization and the European Medicines Agency. It says that cerebral sinus thrombosis should be further investigated for its causality with the vaccine.



This disease is very rare, with a blood clot blocking the blood vessels in the brain, and unlike general thrombosis, there are 13 per million people.



[Na, Sang-Hoon/Professor of Department of Cardiology, Seoul National University Hospital: Severe pain and blurred vision may be reported, as if hitting the head with a hammer, which has never been experienced in a lifetime.]



Health authorities

also reported that

after vaccination with AstraZeneca vaccination. Two serious adverse reactions admitted causality with the vaccine.



This is a case in which the blood pressure fell the next day after the vaccination, followed by convulsions and high fever, in their 20s, who developed an acute allergic reaction, anaphylaxis 7 minutes after vaccination.



Both of them have now improved their symptoms.



This is the first time our health authorities have recognized the link between COVID-19 vaccination and adverse reactions.



If the causality of the vaccine is recognized in this way, you can apply for damage compensation and receive compensation for medical expenses, etc., according to the deliberation of the expert committee.
