With more than 60,000 people getting vaccinated against the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19) a day, the human counterattack is in full swing and the government is focusing on blocking vaccination hurdles.
In addition to eradicating fake news and strict punishment for illegal vaccines, they are taking early measures so that cases of death after vaccination do not generate anxiety in citizens.
This appears to be due to concerns that if the resulting controversy is not actively responded to, confusion may arise in the vaccination process and eventually herd immunity may be delayed.
According to the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on the 4th, Jung Eun-kyung, head of the Corona 19 Vaccination Response Advocacy Team (Director of the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) He said: “Many deaths have been reported in other countries. Countries, but vaccines There has not been a case where so far the causality of the department has been confirmed,” he warned of excessive anxiety.
The deaths should not lead to avoiding vaccination because they were both hospitalized in nursing hospitals and likely to have died for reasons other than vaccines.
The government plans to verify the relationship between vaccination and death by examining the medical records of the deceased and reviewing the damage investigation team.
The government is also actively working to detect and block false news related to the Corona 19 vaccine. To this end, the Korea Communications Commission receives reports of misinformation that creates anxiety.
Yoon Tae-ho, Head of Accident Control Headquarters, said: “There are some cases that create vague anxiety about vaccination due to the spread of non-scientific content that has not been confirmed recently (related to vaccines). We will strengthen our response. “
“As an example, the content that an emergency arrest if vaccination was refused was fabricated information purporting to be a media company, and that the AstraZeneca vaccine was only 8% effective for those 65 and older, citing misinformation from a German business magazine turned out to be an example of transmission, “he said.
Currently, every metropolitan / provincial and police office is monitoring and responding to false vaccine-related information through dedicated staff to prevent false news.
Furthermore, as suspicions arose that nursing hospital officials had been vaccinated with a “cut”, the government established a policy to severely punish “illegal vaccinations”.
At a nursing hospital in Dongducheon City, the Dongducheon City Public Health Center launched an investigation after receiving a report that the nursing hospital manager’s wife had received the AstraZeneca vaccine, which only patients and medical personnel were vaccinated.
Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun said: “The vaccination order is a social promise established on the basis of science and fact, and actions that abandon social trust and cause conflict cannot be tolerated.” Please review and take strict action. “
The government’s swift response to the vaccination-related controversy is to shed anxiety about vaccination and proceed without compromising herd immunity.
Negative opinions about vaccination are not high yet, but that doesn’t mean you can be relieved.
As a result of asking about 1,004 adults nationwide between the 23rd and 25th of last month about vaccination, 14% of respondents answered ‘probably will not be vaccinated’, and 5% answered ‘never will not be vaccinated’ , resulting in 19% negative responses Busy. 10% reserved their opinion.
At least 70% of citizens must complete vaccination for herd immunity to be possible, but when negative and reserved responses are combined, it is close to 30%.
On the other hand, the number of people vaccinated against Corona 19 increased by 63,644 at midnight the previous day, registering a cumulative of 8.7428. The cumulative number of vaccinations against AstraZeneca was 85,904 and the number of Pfizer vaccinations was 1,524.
