AstraZeneca Vaccine Recipient Female Police Officer in Her 50s... Unconscious Due to Cerebral Hemorrhage Symptoms

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Daehyun] A female police officer in her 50s who received the AstraZeneca (AZ) vaccine collapsed due to symptoms of cerebral hemorrhage and has not regained consciousness, prompting authorities to investigate the causal relationship.

According to the Gyeonggi Nambu Police Agency on the 2nd, Officer A, a woman in her 50s belonging to the Gyeonggi Nambu Police Agency, collapsed early that morning with suspected cerebral hemorrhage symptoms. She was transported to a hospital and underwent emergency surgery but has not yet regained consciousness. It is known that she had no significant underlying health conditions.

It was confirmed that Officer A received the AstraZeneca vaccine around noon on the 29th at a hospital in Hwaseong-si, Gyeonggi Province. On the day of vaccination, she only experienced mild headaches in the afternoon, but on the 1st, the headache gradually worsened, leading to hospitalization for examination and subsequent discharge.

On the 12th of last month, when AstraZeneca (AZ) COVID-19 vaccinations resumed, medical staff at the Jungnang-gu Public Health Center in Seoul held up the AZ vaccine.

However, early that morning, Officer A showed paralysis symptoms in her hands and face, lost consciousness, and collapsed. She was transferred to a nearby large hospital, underwent two surgeries, and is currently hospitalized.

A police official stated, "The quarantine authorities plan to verify whether there is a causal relationship between Officer A's symptoms and the vaccine administration," adding, "No other vaccinated staff members have been confirmed to show severe symptoms so far."
