A new coronavirus infection (Corona 19) vaccine was self-vaccinated for medical staff, and medical staff are waiting after vaccination at Seoul National University Hospital in Jongno-gu, Seoul on the 5th, looking for adverse reactions. News 1
As the number of vaccines against the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19) increases, adverse reactions are reported. Most are mild cases such as headache, fever, nausea, and vomiting. Some reports of anaphylaxis (severe systemic allergic reactions), severe suspicion, and death have also been reported. As a result, even a mild fever after vaccination leads to the anxiety that “maybe there is a problem?” There are also cases of taking antipyretic drugs immediately or of an urgent visit to a hospital.
However, it was found that for the corona antibody to form sufficiently, it was necessary to refrain from taking antipyretic drugs. It is best to avoid hospital visits as much as possible. The Korean Medical Association issued a recommendation to the public on the 6th and guided the correct response method after vaccination.
At 0 o’clock on day 6, the number of vaccinations was 2,96380. Of these, 290,1131 received the AstraZeneca (AZ) vaccine. However, the AZ vaccine has a 20-30% chance of developing a fever (over 38 degrees) or muscle pain after vaccination. It means that two to three out of 10 people naturally have a fever or muscle pain.
The medical association recommended that if the body temperature is below 38.5 degrees Celsius and the fever starts within 24 hours, it is better not to take antipyretic drugs. The reason is that, although it is a mild fever without a big problem, taking an antipyretic drug can reduce the formation of antibodies. In addition, he said that if there are no specific physical symptoms other than fever, there is no need to consult a doctor.
However, you can take antipyretics if your body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees Celsius or if you feel like your body is hard. In this case, the Tylenol (acetaminophen) series is recommended, which has a relatively small effect on antibody formation. You do not need to stop taking antipyretics until you feel well.
The medical association urged them to refrain from visiting the hospital indiscriminately. If the body temperature is below 38.5 degrees Celsius and within 24 hours after the mild fever, it is better to take a break at home without going to the hospital emergency room. However, if you have a high fever of 38.5 degrees Celsius or higher, and you have a lot of problems and anxiety due to fever or muscle pain, you should seek medical attention. It is good to consider outpatient treatment in hospitals and clinics, such as relief clinics during the day and visits to the emergency room late at night. It is a recommendation that takes into account the risk of corona infection.
