Two patients in South Korea died shortly after receiving the coronavirus vaccine. Both were vaccinated with AstraZeneca, the state-run Ryonghap news agency reported.
According to the authorities, both patients suffered from a number of dangerous diseases that aggravated their condition. One of them was between 50 and 60 years old. After being vaccinated, he developed symptoms of cardiac arrest and difficulty breathing, but felt better after receiving help. However, the next morning, the symptoms returned and he passed away.
The second was 63 years old, he had disorders in the blood circulation of the brain. After receiving the vaccination, he began to experience severe pain throughout his body, he had a fever. He died four days after the injection. It is reported that doctors have yet to determine whether the vaccine was one of the reasons for his death.
AstraZeneca vaccine is considered unsafe for older patients. In South Korea, as in many European countries, it is not used to vaccinate patients over 65.
