South Korea recorded more than a thousand reports of side effects after receiving the emerging coronavirus vaccine on Wednesday.
And the health authorities said that they had “received more than a thousand reports of the emergence of side effects after receiving the Corona vaccine during the past 24 hours.”
She added: “There were no additional deaths from the Corona vaccine, so that the total number of deaths that were reported after receiving the vaccine remains at 15.”
And she continued: “There are 7 additional suspected cases of serious anaphylaxis symptoms, including 6 cases associated with the AstraZeneca vaccine and one case related to the Pfizer vaccine.”
She indicated that the number of reports of side effects after receiving the Corona vaccine had risen to 6859 since the vaccination campaign began in the country on February 26.
She explained, “Among them, 6802 reports are related to the AstraZeneca vaccine, constituting 99.2% of the total, while only 57 reports were related to the Pfizer vaccine.”
The authorities in Seoul pointed out that the matter appears to be due to the fact that the number of people who received the AstraZeneca vaccine is much higher than their counterparts who received the Pfizer vaccine, as the number of those who received AstraZeneca reached 487,704 people, while the number of those who received the Pfizer vaccine reached 12,931.
