70s Woman in Daejeon Unconscious After Receiving Flu Vaccine

[Asia Economy (Daejeon) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] It has been confirmed that a woman in her 70s in Daejeon fell into an unconscious state after receiving a flu vaccine.

According to Daejeon City on the 21st, Ms. A, who resides in Jijok-dong, Yuseong-gu, has been receiving treatment in an unconscious state after receiving a flu vaccine on the 19th.

On the day of vaccination, Ms. A showed symptoms of vomiting, and around 1 p.m. on the following day, the 20th, she lost consciousness and was transferred to a general hospital. Currently, Ms. A is undergoing treatment while unconscious.

Prior to Ms. A, an incident occurred in Daejeon where Mr. B (in his 80s), who received a flu vaccine injection, passed away. Mr. B received the flu vaccine at a local clinic on the morning of the 19th and died on the 20th.

Mr. B’s body was transferred to the National Forensic Service to determine the exact cause of death, and an autopsy has reportedly already been conducted. The test results are expected to be released in about two weeks.

Meanwhile, city health authorities have identified that the flu vaccines received by Ms. A and Mr. B were from the same manufacturer but had different lot numbers.

However, it has been confirmed that no other adverse signs have appeared in other recipients of the vaccine besides Ms. A and Mr. B.

Jung Hae-kyo, Director of the City Health and Welfare Bureau, stated, “It is necessary to conduct a thorough review of the causal relationship between the flu vaccine administration and the cases by examining the past medical records of Ms. A and Mr. B. The decision on whether to suspend additional vaccinations of the vaccine administered to the two individuals will be made after a comprehensive review by the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency.”
