In Korea, the number of cases reported as adverse reactions increased to 152 after being vaccinated against novel coronavirus infection from Pfizer and AstraZeneca (Corona 19). These were all mild symptoms that can often appear after vaccination, but quarantine authorities predict that as the number of vaccinations increases in the future, serious adverse reactions may also occur.
According to the Corona 19 Vaccination Response Advocacy Team on day 1, an additional 40 reports of adverse reactions were added after vaccination at 0 o’clock on the day. As a result, a total of 152 adverse reactions were reported in the three days after the start of vaccination on the 26th of last month.
As a result of having to report more than two symptoms, the most common abnormal symptom was “fever of 38 degrees or higher” (76%). Muscle pain (25%), headache (14%), nausea (11%), chills (10%), dizziness (9%), urticaria (9%) were followed and no serious adverse reactions such as death or anaphylaxis. reported.

Eun-kyung Jung, head of the Corona 19 Vaccination Response Promotion Team (Director of the Korea Centers for Control and Disease Prevention) said: “All symptoms can appear during normal immunity formation and most of them disappear without special treatment in 3 days.” Cold compresses or pain relievers can help. “However, if symptoms worsen or symptoms such as high fever or allergic reactions appear, seek medical attention immediately.
According to the promotional team, the cumulative number of vaccines of the corona19 vaccine for three days from 26 to 28 of last month amounted to 21,177. Of the vaccinated subjects registered (36,316) so far, 21,163 (5.8%) completed the vaccination. The remaining 14 are Corona 19 first responders (emergency personnel, epidemiological investigators, quarantine officials, etc.) who vaccinated the remaining quantity of the vaccine at the discretion of local governments and medical institutions.
“There have been 20,000 vaccinations so far, but there have been no reports of serious adverse reactions,” said Jung’s Promotion Director. Anaphylaxis refers to symptoms such as severe dizziness, headache, shortness of breath, drop in blood pressure, etc., as the immune reaction progresses rapidly when foreign substances enter the body. In severe cases, you can go crazy.
