12,700 medical institutions vaccinated against influenza … “It is difficult to determine refusal of treatment”

By day 23, 12,700 medical institutions were found to have been vaccinated against influenza (flu).

The number of medical institutions that have suspended vaccination following the recommendation of the Korean Medical Association (medical association) has yet to be determined, and quarantine authorities are cautious about whether it can be considered an act of refusal of treatment under the law. medical when it really stops.

On the afternoon of the 24th, the head of the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC) said: “There are statistics that recorded and recorded vaccination yesterday (23) at 12,700 sites, about 50% of all Vaccination Medical Institutions “, in a briefing on the ‘national influenza vaccination project’.

Commissioner Chung said: “The doctor’s request to delay vaccination for about a week is interpreted not as ‘we are not going to get vaccinated’, but rather to judge by seeing a causal relationship to some extent.” “Currently, Various Investigations (on vaccination) We will share the results and clinical information with medical consultations, vaccination institutions and experts, and we will communicate with them so that they can judge the causal relationship.” Commissioner Chung said: “It is impossible to know whether the medical institution has stopped the vaccination. “It is difficult to determine whether the vaccination was interrupted (on the recommendation of the medical consultation), so whether it can be considered as an act of refusal of treatment according to medical law may vary depending on the details It’s kind of hard to say conclusively. ” In response to the spread of the ‘fovia vaccine’ (phobia), who are reluctant to vaccinate as deaths occurred after influenza vaccination, Commissioner Chung said: “As concerns about safety increase of vaccines and death cases are reported and reported, adverse reactions after vaccination have died. The reporting rate is increasing, “he said.” It remains to be determined through precise investigations whether actual vaccine-related deaths are increasing. “He said:” More than 50% of vaccination targets have already been vaccinated, and vaccinations for the elderly under 69 remain, “he said. “There was an opinion from the Vaccination Committee that it would be better to emphasize safer vaccination while proceeding as scheduled.”

An estimated 1,500 people 65 years of age and older died within 7 days of last year’s flu vaccination. It is a statistic that only counts the number of deaths regardless of the causal relationship with the vaccine.
