On the afternoon of the 25th, citizens wait in line for influenza vaccination at the Seoul East Branch of the Health Promotion Clinic of the Korea Health Management Association in Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul. At 26 days, a total of 324 people were vaccinated with the influenza (flu) vaccine exposed to room temperature. The size of the inoculation is expected to increase further according to future government research. However, it was found that no cases of adverse reactions have been received after influenza vaccination.
According to ‘Press Q&A data related to the temporary suspension of the national influenza vaccination project’ distributed by the Korean Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC) on the 26th, a total of 324 cases of inoculation with the Influenza vaccine (provided by the government) exposed at room temperature on this day. It was reported in cases (people).
The Agency for Disease Control and Prevention said: “We are conducting research on the vaccine. Figures may change based on results, and related statistics will be collected and released periodically.”
The number of vaccines exposed to room temperature is expected to increase further. In the afternoon of the previous day, 224 people had received the vaccine in question. The Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety announced on the 25th that 105 people had been vaccinated with the vaccine in question, but Jeonju City, Jeonbuk, revealed that there were 119 more in addition to the 60 people identified in Jeonju by the authorities. In a Jeonju hospital, the free vaccine provided by the government and the amount bought and inoculated by people were administered together, and about 60 people were vaccinated with the vaccine exposed to room temperature. In addition, Jeonju City, North Jeolla Province, added that 179 vaccines in the amount were vaccinated to citizens. Excluding the number of people vaccinated in Jeonju, 119 were additionally vaccinated. The Korean Disease Administration took steps to stop the flu vaccine in the late afternoon of the 21st, but some medical institutions were not aware of the fact. As a result, it is estimated that some medical institutions have received the vaccine in question. “Since the flu vaccine is a killed vaccine, the risk of side effects is low even when exposed to room temperature,” said Chung Eun-kyung, director of disease management. “Contamination is also low due to the nature of the individual packages, but we will continue to conduct quality inspections.”
Killed vaccine refers to a form of vaccine that leaves only toxicity by inactivating bacteria or viruses. It is safer even if bacteria or viruses are exposed to room temperature than live vaccines.
