The Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Corona 19 Vaccination Response Promotion Team announced on the 24th, explaining the adverse reactions after vaccination.
One day before vaccination, vaccination targets should check the scheduled vaccination location and time, and in a healthy state, be sure to get a doctor’s checkup before vaccination.
Do not receive the vaccination during the first vaccination or if a severe allergic reaction such as anaphylaxis to the components of the COVID-19 vaccine is observed. If you suspect COVID-19 infection, or if you have acute symptoms such as fever (37.5℃ or higher), you should postpone vaccination.
It is better to avoid drinking before and after vaccination. Anti-inflammatory analgesics may have the effect of lowering the immune response to the vaccine, so it is best to avoid them before vaccination.
Eun-kyung Jung, head of the COVID-19 vaccination and response promotion team (Director of the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) said, “You must adhere to the first and second vaccination intervals for each corona 19 vaccine, and be inoculated with the same vaccine. “You have to make sure there are days apart.” AstraZeneca vaccine should be separated by 8 to 12 weeks, and Pfizer vaccine should be separated by 3 weeks.
All vaccination recipients should stay at the vaccination facility for 15 to 30 minutes after vaccination to observe whether adverse reactions occur, and observe carefully for at least 3 hours after returning home.
Observe for at least 15 minutes, but if you have experienced severe allergies (eg, anaphylaxis) due to other causes (medicine, food, injection, etc.), observe for 30 minutes.
Always keep the inoculation site clean, observe with special attention for at least 3 days after inoculation, and seek medical attention immediately if you have high fever or other physical symptoms. In the case of elderly people, they should not be alone in order to receive help in case of symptoms after vaccination.
As an adverse reaction after the COVID-19 vaccination, local reactions such as pain, swelling and redness at the vaccination site. Systemic reactions such as fever, fatigue, headache, muscle pain, nausea, and vomiting may occur, but most of the adverse reactions that are common after vaccination disappear within a few days (3 days).
Pain or swelling at the vaccination site Applying a cold towel to the vaccination site, or taking pain relievers when systemic adverse reactions such as muscle pain or fatigue occur may also be helpful.
However, if symptoms such as an allergic reaction appear, or if a fever of 39 degrees or higher or symptoms of an adverse reaction in general interfere with daily life, you should visit a medical institution and seek medical attention. If you experience a severe allergic reaction such as anaphylaxis, you should call 911 immediately or visit the nearest emergency room. In particular, anaphylaxis occurs very rarely after vaccination, but it occurs within minutes after vaccination, and it is an emergency situation that progresses rapidly, and management and response by medical institutions are important.

Emergency medicines such as epinephrine were provided at vaccination institutions and emergency medical institutions, and a systematic response system was established to carry out emergency transportation in the event of an adverse reaction patient through a cooperation system with the Fire Department.
If you suspect an adverse reaction, you can check the symptoms and receive instructions on how to cope with the immunization assistant website (https://nip.kdca.go.kr) at’Checking your health after vaccination (QR code provided)’.
“The most common adverse reactions of the COVID-19 vaccination reported overseas include skin symptoms such as pain and redness at the vaccination site, headache, fatigue or rash, and most of them occurred within 1 to 2 days after vaccination, and disappeared within a few days,” said Eun-kyung Jung. “For facial paralysis and death cases reported as serious adverse reactions, causality with the vaccine was not reported, and anaphylactic reactions that may appear differently from person to person due to immunological hypersensitivity reactions are rarely reported in those who received the vaccine.” .
The Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention operates a national compensation system for vaccination damages for adverse reactions that inevitably occur after national vaccination in accordance with the’Act on the Prevention and Management of Infectious Diseases’.
After vaccination, a person who has received the vaccination reported to the local public health center due to an adverse reaction can apply for compensation to the local public health center with the required documents for compensation. Decide.
National compensation for vaccination damage is provided with medical expenses (personal expenses), nursing expenses, temporary disability compensation, temporary death compensation and funeral expenses.
The Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC) has expanded the national compensation system for vaccinations for this year’s COVID-19 vaccinations only from 300,000 won or more to the full amount, in order to strengthen national responsibility for adverse reactions to the COVID-19 vaccination. Also, it plans to expand and operate the scope of damage compensation.
General Manager Jeong said, “Please follow the vaccination safety rules so that safe vaccination can be achieved. Even after vaccination is completed, keep a distance to prevent infection and spread, wear a mask, wash your hands with soap in running water for at least 30 seconds, etc. We must continue to follow the infection prevention rules,” he said.
