A new coronavirus infection (Corona 19) vaccine has been self-vaccinated for medical staff, and medical staff are waiting after vaccination at Seoul National University Hospital in Jongno-gu, Seoul on the 5th, looking for adverse reactions. News 1
– As the number of vaccinations against the novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19) increases, adverse reactions are being reported. Most are mild cases such as headache, fever, nausea, and vomiting. Some reports of anaphylaxis (severe systemic allergic reactions), severe suspicion, and death have also been reported. As a result, even a slight fever after vaccination leads to anxiety that’maybe there is a problem?’ There are also cases of taking antipyretic drugs immediately or urgently visiting a hospital.
However, it was found that in order for the corona antibody to form sufficiently, it was necessary to refrain from taking antipyretic drugs. It is better to avoid visiting the hospital as much as possible. The Korean Medical Association issued a recommendation to the public on the 6th and guided the correct response method after vaccination.
As of 0 o’clock on the 6th, the number of vaccinations was 2,96380. Of these, 290,1131 received the AstraZeneca (AZ) vaccine. However, the AZ vaccine has a 20-30% chance of developing fever (above 38 degrees) or muscle pain after vaccination. It means that two or three out of 10 people naturally have fever or muscle pain.
The medical association recommended that if the body temperature is less than 38.5 degrees Celsius and the fever started within 24 hours, it is better not to take antipyretic drugs. The reason is that even though it is a mild fever without a big problem, taking an antipyretic drug may reduce the formation of antibodies. In addition, he said that if there are no specific physical symptoms other than fever, it is not necessary to consult a doctor.
However, you can take antipyretics if your body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees Celsius or if you feel your body is having a hard time. In this case, the Tylenol series (acetaminophen), which has relatively little effect on antibody formation, is recommended. You don’t have to stop taking antipyretics while you’re not feeling well.
The medical association urged them to refrain from visiting the hospital indiscriminately. If the body temperature is less than 38.5 degrees Celsius and within 24 hours of mild fever, it is better to take a break at home without going to the hospital emergency room. However, if you have a high fever of 38.5 degrees Celsius or higher, and you have a lot of trouble and anxiety due to fever, muscle pain, etc., you should seek medical attention. It is good to consider outpatient treatment in hospitals and clinics such as relief clinics during the day and emergency room visits late in the evening. It is a recommendation taking into account the risk of corona infection.
