In Korea, the number of cases reported as adverse reactions increased to 152 after being vaccinated against novel coronavirus infection from Pfizer and AstraZeneca (Corona 19).

Anaphylaxis refers to symptoms such as severe dizziness, headache, shortness of breath, drop in blood pressure, etc., as the immune reaction progresses rapidly when foreign substances enter the body.
