[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyun-joo] A petition pleading "Please save him" has been posted, claiming that a man in his 20s fell into a coma after receiving the first dose of the Pfizer vaccine.

On the 31st, a post titled "(Age 22) Comatose after first Pfizer dose" was published on the Blue House National Petition Board. According to the petition, Mr. A, the petitioner’s son who received the first Pfizer vaccine dose on the 17th of last month, suddenly complained of a headache and collapsed while playing with friends on the 22nd, five days later.

The petitioner explained, "A friend called 119, but due to COVID-19, there was no ambulance nearby, so they said they were waiting for cooperation from another city," adding, "We were told to go to a nearby hospital once the ambulance arrived, and our family had already arrived there first, but the ambulance was very late. At a time when every second counted, the hospital had no operating room available, so while they were looking for another hospital, too much time passed."

He also added, "(Afterwards) he was transferred to a university hospital for surgery, but my son is still unconscious."

The petitioner said, "My son, who was discharged from the Air Force and returned to university, was healthier than anyone else," and added, "The surgeon said they could not determine the cause of the brain hemorrhage. When I mentioned the vaccine causality, they said 'I don't know.' When I reported it to the health center, they said the doctor has to acknowledge it."

He said, "They say the epidemiological investigation will take more than two months to begin. The government should not just tell us to trust the vaccine and get vaccinated but also pay attention to the treatment of victims," adding, "I feel so unfair and angry. If he hadn’t gotten the vaccine, my son would have lived peacefully. My heart hurts so much. Please save my son."

Meanwhile, posts reporting adverse reactions after vaccination continue to appear on the Blue House National Petition Board. On the 28th of last month, a petition titled "24-year-old elementary school teacher is in critical condition after first Pfizer dose. Please help my brother" was posted. The petitioner revealed that her previously healthy brother was diagnosed with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS) as a side effect of the vaccine.
