The EMA of the European Medicines Agency has concluded that the AstraZeneca vaccine is not related to an increased risk of blood clots.

However, I have put a long hint here.

He referred to very rare cases of blood clots related to thrombocytopenia and emphasized that the investigation must continue.

Women younger than 50 years had more cases of cerebral vein thrombosis or disseminated intravascular coagulation than usual.

This uniqueness has not been identified in the elderly.

Of course, the relevance of the vaccine in such a specific case has not even been confirmed.

Caution is required before and after vaccination. If certain symptoms develop after receiving the AstraZeneca vaccine, a hospital visit is recommended.

The government has a policy to proceed with vaccination as planned.

Starting next week, people 65 and older in nursing hospitals and nursing facilities will receive the AstraZeneca vaccine.

There is no change in judgment that vaccinating the elderly who are vulnerable to Corona 19 infection is the highest priority.

As a result of confirmation from some local governments, the consent rate was found to be low, with only 50% of patients in nursing hospitals consenting to vaccination.

[천은미 / 이대목동병원 호흡기내과 교수 : 접종 당일 아침에 급성 염증과 혈전에 대한 혈액 검사 등을 통해서 정상인 상태에서 접종하고, 이상 반응이 있을 때는 인과관계를 확인하는 것이 접종률을 높일 방법이라고 생각합니다.]

To ease vaccination anxiety, the government will end causation for vaccines and blood clots on the 22nd after expert discussions based on the EMA’s assessment.
