On the afternoon of the 27th, a clinic for children and adolescents in the city of Sejong. Health and Welfare Minister Park Neung-hoo, 64 this year, sat across from a doctor wearing a white short-sleeved T-shirt. Free flu shots for ages 62 to 69 started the day before, and Secretary Park is also a target. The Ministry of Health and Social Welfare released Park’s vaccination status to the media. The government also revealed on the 21st that Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun, 70, was vaccinated against the flu at a public health center in Yeondong-myeon, Sejong City.
It is unusual for the Prime Minister and Minister to even reveal the appearance of piercing syringes in their arms. There have been several occasions when anxiety related to food safety has increased, and the ministers of the corresponding ministry have tasted the food in front of the camera, but this is known to be the first time they have been vaccinated publicly. It was a move to directly show that “it is safe to be right,” as fear of the vaccine increased as reports of older people died after being vaccinated against the flu.

By day 25, 59 people reported that they had died after vaccination. These figures are simply reporting statistics, with no association between the vaccine and death. Of these, 46 were found to have died of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, but the higher the number reported, the more anxiety about the vaccine. After completing the vaccination, Minister Park emphasized: “I hope that the public believes in the judgment of the experts and participates in vaccination against influenza.” did.
“‘Death after vaccination’ and ‘death due to vaccine’ are different.”
Experts have emphasized that “the chance of death from vaccines is very slim” since the first death report came in. In a recent article in the Journal of the Korean Medical Society, Professor Jeong Jae-hoon from the Department of Preventive Medicine at Gachon Medical University said: “The hasty estimate of the correlation between vaccination and death after vaccination it has a logical flaw. ” “People are concerned about death due to the side effects of the vaccine,” What we are seeing now is a case in which the dead were vaccinated before they died. “The reported cases are said to be mostly” after of vaccination “but is misinterpreted as” due to the vaccine “.
According to Professor Jeong, an estimated 300,000 people die each year in Korea and 1,000 people die every day around October when the winter season begins. Also, assuming the flu vaccination rate is 50%, about 1% of people get vaccinated every day for a two-month period. 10 people, or 1% of the 1,000 deaths on average in October, can be predicted to die within 24 hours of vaccination regardless of age and gender.
Professor Jeong also analyzed that the results of epidemiological investigations △ the vaccine manufacturing process △ the improper transportation process of the vaccine △ the method of storage in medical institutions △ the side effects of the vaccine itself is unlikely. that cause death. “The fact that this phenomenon does not appear in infants and young children who receive as many vaccines as in the elderly is another reason,” he said.
The same is true in the United States, where older people have many “post-vaccination deaths.” According to a 2013 study using the US Vaccine Safety Data (VSD) link, the mortality rate within a week after vaccination across the entire population is approximately 6 per 100,000 vaccinations. However, those from 65 to 74 years old jump to 11.3 and those from 75 to 84 years old jump to 23.2. Professor Jeong said: “Death after vaccination is a natural report, and the death rate of the elderly is already very high, so it is difficult to say that the current mortality (in Korea) reported is an unusual number.” . “Vaccines are the best answer to infectious diseases for a long time. It is established as a means,” he said.
