During hospital treatment … I can’t control my chronic disease
According to the Corona 19 Vaccination Response Promotion Team on day 18, A, a man in his 20s, who was reported to have developed thrombosis after vaccination, was a 119 paramedic, the first to respond to Corona 19 Mr. A, who was vaccinated with AZ vaccine on day 10 as a priority vaccination target, developed headache and chills from the same day, and vomiting on day 14, and went to the hospital on day 15. The hospital verified brain lesions in blood and radiological examinations (MRI) and presented findings of thrombosis. Investigating whether there was an underlying disease, but so far, no chronic disease has been confirmed. Mr. A is in hospital treatment.
Park Young-joon, Adverse Reaction Research Support Team Leader, said: “We also monitored adverse reactions from people who received the same vaccine at the same institution, but none of them had similar symptoms.”
A nursing hospital patient in his 60s who died on the sixth day, 8 days after receiving the AZ vaccine on the 26th of last month, showed symptoms such as dyspnea. However, authorities estimated the cause of death for the patient as aspiration pneumonia and acute myocardial infarction, and said the association between blood clots and vaccination was low. The Commissioner of the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC), Chung Eun-kyung, also told the general meeting of the Special Committee on Budget and Clearance of the National Assembly that there are no clear signs of a blood clot. blood after vaccination after vaccination. This is because blood clots are not uncommon symptoms, and 17,000 people a year are reported as pulmonary embolism.

Professor Park Jun-beom from the Department of Cardiology at Ewha Women’s University Mokdong Hospital said: “If there was no underlying disease and they were fully active, there is little chance of a blood clot forming.” Kim Woo-joo, professor of infectious medicine at Korea University Guro Hospital, said: “I had a headache and chills, and then a brain injury occurred, but it is related to the time after vaccination.”
Professor Jang Ki-Yuk from the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine at St. Mary’s Hospital in Seoul said: “It appears that blood clots have formed in the blood vessels of the brain and the arteries are blocked, and it seems to have been confirmed as a heart attack. cerebral. “” A blood clot may have formed because the systemic inflammatory reaction persisted. ”
Meanwhile, the number of reported cases of adverse reactions after vaccination up to 0 o’clock that day increased to 9,405. Most of them were muscle aches, headache, fever, chills, and nausea. Authorities are investigating the link to vaccination in 16 cases reported as dead after vaccination.
