The UK was the first to get vaccinated against COVID-19 in the world.

“We are reviewing two reports of allergic reactions. Large clinical trials have not found this feature.”

Both received treatment and improved.

They are said to have had allergic reactions in the past.

UK health officials say vaccination remains “safe” unless someone has previously experienced a severe allergic reaction.

However, people with a history of allergic reactions were advised to stop COVID-19 vaccination.

Experts say this is common with newly developed vaccines and that there are no effective drugs without side effects.

He stressed that the Pfizer vaccine met high safety standards.

Among them, Canada is the third in the world to approve Pfizer vaccines, after the United Kingdom and Bahrain.

Canadian health officials have also advised against allergic reactions in the UK for people who have previously had an allergic reaction to the vaccine.

However, he said the vaccine was carefully reviewed and monitored, and he said he might be relieved.

“I know of allergic reactions in the UK. We have been working closely with UK health officials for additional information. The allergic reaction occurred shortly after vaccination and staff are receiving appropriate treatment and recovering. “.

Vaccination is also imminent in the United States.

An analysis also found that 90% of citizens in low-income countries will not be able to get the vaccine until next year due to the recent sweep of the Corona 19 vaccine by rich countries.

According to a report published by ‘People’s Vaccine’, an alliance organized by international organizations for the equitable distribution of vaccines, only 1 in 10 citizens of 67 low-income countries, including North Korea, Nigeria, Ethiopia and Myanmar, will be able to receive the Corona 19 vaccine next year. Dear to be.

“If people in low-income countries are not vaccinated, deaths will continue to increase and recovery will be delayed. Therefore, sharing and solidarity benefits all the peoples of the planet.”

The World Health Organization predicts that it will take several months for Latin American countries to get enough COVID-19 vaccine.

Currently, 53% of vaccines have been previously purchased in 12 countries, including the United States, Canada, the European Union, the United Kingdom, and Japan.

Its population is 14%, but more than half of the vaccines were taken.

It appears that more efforts are needed to ensure uniform distribution so that vaccination is not a job for rich countries.

“This is a great reform. It is the first in the world and the world is watching Australia. This legislation will help enforce the rules of the digital world. Ultimately, it will sustain the Australian media industry.”

Australia’s media industry is in crisis with COVID-19.

Large media companies cut their employees’ salaries and some media companies even stopped publishing articles due to a sharp drop in advertising revenue.

Media companies are in a position to pay for the use of news content because Google and Facebook are making money and attracting users through their news.

However, Google and Facebook strongly oppose it.

They even threatened to block the exchange of news if the law passed.

How will this case affect the media in Korea and around the world?
