[Asia Economy Reporter Na Ye-eun] A story has emerged about a healthy husband who died the day after receiving his second Moderna vaccine.

On the 28th, a post titled "Death the day after second Moderna vaccine" was uploaded to the Blue House National Petition Board. A, who introduced herself as a 59-year-old mother with a 32-year-old daughter and a 24-year-old son, stated, "My husband, who was working healthily, died the day after receiving his second Moderna vaccine."

A explained about her husband, "He was taking medication for high blood pressure, but he managed his weight well enough to regularly participate in badminton clubs and hiking."

She continued, "The coroner said my husband died of cardiac arrest," adding, "After receiving the second Moderna vaccine and coming home, he said he felt fine, even waved his arms, and ate dinner as usual, but that short half day became his last."

She also said, "Even in this heartbreaking situation, my daughter had to undergo a two-week self-quarantine as a close contact at the kindergarten her grandson attends due to a COVID-19 case. Although it had been a month since my daughter’s second vaccine dose, she was classified as a co-quarantined person and could not properly attend her father's funeral."

A said, "It is so painful, but now that we are waiting for the autopsy results, I am experiencing what it means for the sky to fall. My mother-in-law fainted upon hearing the news about my husband."

She added, "My husband was an ordinary citizen who had volunteered diligently in the neighborhood watch for over 30 years and had never once delayed paying taxes," and lamented, "The government still has not given me any response amid this terrible pain, and there has been no news about the autopsy results for over a month."

Furthermore, she said, "In Suseong District, Daegu, this is the first reported case of death the day after vaccination, and the police handled the autopsy process promptly, but there is still no news of the results," concluding, "It was such a sudden event that I am at a loss about how to live and how to handle the legacy my husband left behind. What should I do?"
