[Asia Economy Reporter Yoon Seul-gi] A post claiming that a man in his 30s died three days after receiving his second dose of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine was posted on the Blue House petition board.

On the Blue House National Petition Board on the 26th, a post titled "My healthy 33-year-old younger brother died three days after the second Moderna dose" was uploaded.

The petitioner said about his younger brother who died after the second Moderna vaccination, "My younger brother was a healthy young man, 178 cm tall and weighing 85 kg," adding, "He was a father to a 10-month-old son and worked as a health trainer."

The petitioner continued, "My younger brother received the second Moderna vaccine three days ago and on the second day, he had a meal with his father on his birthday," and said, "I never imagined that would be his last meal. After the meal, he told me he had no fever but was sweating cold sweat on his back and asked me to check. When I touched, he was drenched in sweat. I told him to go home and rest, and that was the last time I saw him," explaining the situation at the time.

The petitioner said, "(My younger brother) had no underlying diseases and, due to his job as a health trainer, he exercised daily and was a healthy man," adding, "He did not smoke and only occasionally drank alcohol."

The petitioner also said, "My sister-in-law and my younger brother’s child, who just turned one, lost their head of the family overnight. Even as I write this, I am very confused whether this is a dream, reality, or if I am in my right mind," and lamented, "I always thought this would only happen to others, and I never dreamed such a thing would happen to my kind younger brother."

The petitioner revealed that the autopsy for his younger brother is scheduled for tomorrow and said, "Even if an autopsy is performed, it is said to be too complicated, difficult, and challenging to confirm a causal relationship with the vaccine," appealing, "Please help clarify the causal relationship regarding death after vaccination."

Meanwhile, according to the COVID-19 Vaccination Response Promotion Team on the 25th, 2,132 new cases suspected of adverse reactions were reported to health authorities over two days from the 23rd to the 24th, bringing the total to 339,002 cases. The suspected adverse reaction reporting rate compared to the number of first and second vaccine doses is 0.45%. By vaccine type, Moderna is 0.63%, Janssen 0.58%, AstraZeneca 0.52%, and Pfizer 0.37%.

Among the newly reported suspected adverse reactions, there was one death case after receiving the Moderna vaccine. Fifteen cases involved major adverse reactions such as seizures, and four cases were suspected anaphylaxis. This information was reported by medical institutions, and the causal relationship between the vaccine and adverse reactions will be finally confirmed through epidemiological investigations and other procedures.
