On the afternoon of the 23rd, a notice of suspension of influenza vaccination was posted at a hospital in Seoul. 2020.10.23 © News1The Korean Centers for Disease Control and Prevention decided to continue the flu vaccination business as a result of a vaccination victim investigation group made up of flu vaccine experts on the 23rd. Although the deaths were investigated and autopsies were performed, the direct causality of vaccination was very low.
In particular, reports of deaths increased dramatically after vaccination this year, but an analysis suggests that this is a special situation that coincides with the epidemic of the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19). For example, due to concerns about Corona 19 and Twin Demic (accompanying pandemic), the number of vaccinations among the elderly with many soldiers and natural deaths increased, and infectious disease management was strict, and there were more reports than before.
Even during the H1N1 and MERS outbreaks, reports of deaths from flu vaccines temporarily increased.
Han Chang-hoon, professor of respiratory medicine at Ilsan Hospital, said: “Because the flu is prevented every year (death reports, etc.), there have always been cases. This time, I became more interested in Corona 19, and many elderly people were focused, so I got vaccinated. He said: “If the vaccination is due to a large number of elderly, the probability of dying (due to soldiers or natural deaths) can of course increase.◇ “Deliberation on 26 cases of death reports shows no association with influenza vaccine”Following the Vaccination Victims Research Group meeting held on the 23rd, the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC) deliberated on 26 reported cases of death (including one death after reporting adverse reactions severe) and confirmed the direct connection with vaccination. It didn’t work. “
According to the Agency for Disease Control and Prevention, a total of 36 cases were reported, including 34 cases of death after influenza vaccination at 1 pm the same day and 2 additional deaths due to reports of serious adverse reactions . Of these, 26 people who were denounced the day before were discussed for the first time at the meeting of the damage investigation group.
As a result of 20 interim autopsies, 7 additional tests and 8 cases of Δ cardiovascular disease, 2 cases of Δ cerebrovascular disease, and 3 other cases were underway. Among the six cases that did not undergo autopsy, three cases were deaths from disease and one case was asphyxia, and the causality of vaccination was low.
The Agency for Disease Control and Prevention added: “The expert committee on vaccination plans to hold a meeting on the morning of the 24th to review additional analysis data and further discuss future vaccination plans.”
Regarding the recommendation of Seoul City Yeongdeungpo-gu and Gyeongsangbuk-do Pohang to withhold vaccination with the flu vaccine to the city’s medical institution, the Agency for Disease Control and Prevention said: “The local government has guided itself not to decide whether to withhold vaccination so that the entire national vaccination project can proceed smoothly. ” I also revealed it.
◇ 20 out of 25 reports of influenza vaccination deaths in 10 years at the time of H1N1 and MERS influenza
Some analysts say that the number of deaths reported after flu vaccination this year is in line with the corona 19 epidemic.
When infectious diseases are prevalent, they become more exhaustive in preventing other diseases, and the number of vaccinations itself tends to increase. In particular, if the number of vaccines for the vulnerable, the elderly, increases, deaths from soldiers or natural deaths, not from flu vaccines, may also increase.
This year, in accordance with the Corona 19 epidemic, an additional budget was introduced and the existing influenza vaccination targets are Δ6 months to 13 years ΔPregnant women ΔOf people aged 65 years or older ΔChildren 14-18 years old ΔElderly of 62 to 64 years Expanded a.
Also, in the period of infectious diseases, vaccination reports and research tend to be more meticulous as the public interest is high.
According to the Agency for Disease Control and Prevention, 25 cases of death have been reported after influenza vaccination in the last 10 years (2009-2019).
It appears that 2.5 people died each year and, looking at the content, there were 8 cases in 2009 and 12 cases in 2015, 20 cases in just two years. In 2009, the H1N1 flu epidemic and in 2015, the Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) epidemic.
80% of the reports of deaths from influenza vaccination were made during the outbreak of other infectious diseases.
◇ “If the vaccine is not applied, the death toll will increase” … “You can see the trend, but what does not fit is a loss”
Authorities and experts say that even if vaccination is delayed for a time due to immediate concerns, it is better to get vaccinated as a result.
Commissioner of Diseases Jeong Eun-kyung of the auditor of the Health and Welfare Committee of the National Assembly on the 22nd, said: “About 3,000 people die from influenza infection per year, and most of them were older people who died from complications such as pneumonia or worsening of underlying diseases ”. “When considering complications, especially the elderly” You should get a flu shot. “
Jeong Ki-seok, professor of respiratory medicine at Hallym University Sacred Heart Hospital, said: “If you don’t get a flu shot, the death toll will naturally increase. If you don’t get vaccinated, you will get more flu and more deaths. “
Professor Han said: “If flu breaks out around the world, deaths from flu could be thousands or tens of thousands of times more than usual.” “It takes two weeks to form antibodies, so I will see the trend. That is possible, but it is not correct. If you say yes, the damage to people is great.”
