<Anchor> It is said that



the effectiveness and safety of the corona vaccine have been verified, but pregnant women who are careful with cold medicines may be worried about whether it is okay to get the vaccine.



In addition, there must be concerns about side effects even at home with adolescent children.



<Reporter> On



the 9th, a pregnant woman diagnosed with Corona gave birth to twins at Chosun University Hospital.



At 32 weeks gestation, she had to have an early cesarean section and the twins weighed less than 2 kg.



[Choi Ji-hyeon/Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Chosun University Hospital: We have to make a negative pressure (delivery) bed, so we have to do a caesarean section quickly, but that's not going to happen, so I really had a baby. It seems that a lot of people suffered a lot to shorten the (surgery) time.] The



risk of a pregnant woman being infected with Corona was also confirmed in a domestic investigation.



As of last July, 328 pregnant women had been infected, of which 5, or 1.5%, had worsened to severe gastritis.



This is 8 times higher than the 0.19% of female corona patients in the same age group.



There are no cases of death in Korea, but in the United States, the risk of dying from coronavirus in pregnant women is 10 times greater.



On the other hand, the safety of vaccines is being confirmed one after another.



Recently, a study of early pregnancy vaccination, in which the drug is likely to affect the fetus, has also been published.



The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) surveyed 2,456 pregnant women who received the vaccine within 20 weeks of pregnancy and found no increased risk of premature birth.



When children and adolescents get the vaccine, side effects are very rare and the effect is better than that of adults.




Israel has the highest vaccination completion rate, according to a recent survey.



At 146 days, that is, 5 months after the second dose of mRNA vaccine, the risk of infection was more than doubled in all age groups, and the highest increase was 2.8 times in the high-risk group, especially those in their 60s or older.



The trend of delta mutations has increased the need for booster shots.



However, the interval between booster shots may vary depending on the type of vaccine.



The delta-mutated neutralizing antibody in Pfizer is so high at first, and then decreases rapidly after 3 months, but not in AstraZeneca at first, but the rate of decrease is slower than that of Pfizer.



Depending on further research in the future, depending on the type of vaccine, the booster shot interval may vary.
