아스트라제네카(AstraZeneca vaccine) 백신 업데이트
아스트라제네카백신은 현재 55세 이하의 연령층에는 투여가 중지되었습니다.
유럽쪽, (여성투여자)들중 일부에서 혈전(혈액응고) 현상이 보였으나, 이게 백신과 관련이 있다는 것에 대해서는 아직 입증되지 않았다고하네요. 하지만 정황상으로 볼때 연관성이 없다고도 못하다보니, 55세 이하의 연령층에게 투여를
중지한것 같습니다. (하단 원본 – vaccines in people under 55 years of age)
사실, 55세 전후의 분들이라면 아스트라제네카를 투여하는데 있어 망설이지 않을 수 없겠죠?
55세로 딱 구분해서 안전성을 주장하는거 역시 쉽지 않으니말입니다.
아스트라제네카백신은 현재, 가까운 동네 약국?(Eligible Pharmacies)을 통해서 투여받으실 수 있습니다.

vaccines in people under 55 years of age
Earlier this month, some European countries stopped using the AstraZeneca vaccine while looking into a small number of reports of serious blood clots after vaccination. An analysis by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) concluded that the vaccine was not associated with an increase in the overall risk of blood clotting events. However, it acknowledged there may be a very rare risk of abnormal bleeding and clotting including a particular type of stroke.
