On the morning of March 17, at the Standing meeting of the Government with localities on the COVID-19 epidemic prevention, Minister of Health Nguyen Thanh Long said that among more than 20,000 people vaccinated AstraZeneca (from March 8 to March 16), there were 4,078 cases of normal reaction after injection. In addition, 5 people responding to a degree 2 anaphylaxis and a person responding to a degree 3 anaphylaxis have been treated and stabilized their health.
This third-degree case is due to the fact that the emergency work does not follow the protocol of the Ministry of Health. The ministry has sent experts to reorganize this injection facility to perform well in the coming time.
According to the head of the health sector, before the information about cases of blood clots after the AstraZeneca vaccine, the Ministry of Health has continuously evaluated and monitored: “Up to now, in Vietnam, there have been no cases of post-injection blood clots. The Ministry of Health still requires all health facilities to continue training medical staff, and organize appropriate and safe injection points as well as facilities. At this time, health facilities continue to organize COVID-19 vaccination”.
