The number of deaths after the influenza (flu) vaccination increased to 10. It has been 5 days since the 16th day of the high school student in Incheon. One of them is suspected of ‘anaphylaxis’, which refers to side effects such as shortness of breath or shock immediately after vaccination (acute hypersensitivity reaction).

According to the Korean Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on the 21st, six people died in Seoul, Gyeonggi, Daegu and Jeju. All were confirmed to have been vaccinated against the flu. Four deaths were reported as of the day before. No direct association of adverse reactions to the vaccine was found. However, Kim Jung-gon, head of the Vaccination Damage Research Team (Professor Emeritus at Seoul National University School of Medicine) said: “There is no way to rule out acute hypersensitivity reactions as one person died after two and a half hours. ” However, it was determined that there were no problems with the vaccine during production or distribution. Furthermore, the man who died in Daegu was identified as suffocating due to an underlying illness.

As of day 20, a total of 431 people showed adverse reactions after this year’s flu vaccination. Compared to 132 in 2018 and 177 in 2019, it has increased significantly. Also, from 2009 to last year, there have been a total of 25 deaths after getting a flu shot. One case in 2010 was confirmed to have a causal relationship between flu vaccines. The vaccines with which the dead were vaccinated this year are six products of the five companies. Most of them are free vaccination, but there is a fee. There are no other seriously ill patients who have received the same medical institution or the same group of products. That day, in a briefing, the head of the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC) said: “It is not the structural cause of the vaccine itself because the product name is different and the number of Manufacturing is different, “and decided to continue the flu vaccination business.
