On the morning of September 21, discussing this information, Associate Professor, Dr. Duong Dinh Chinh - Director of Nghe An Department of Health said: The incident occurred on September 19, in Long Xa commune, Hung Nguyen district. The deceased case was Mr. LHY (82 years old) - a priority subject for vaccination in this phase. When arriving at the vaccination site, Mr. Y. was screened and met all the conditions for vaccination.
However, after more than 30 minutes of injection, Mr. Y showed symptoms of stroke and cerebrovascular accident. Immediately after that, the vaccination team quickly provided emergency care and transferred the patient to Nghe An General Hospital for treatment, butAfter 1 day, Mr. Y. died.
Associate Professor, Dr. Duong Dinh Chinh stated: The X-rays of the Provincial General Hospital showed that the patient had a very large intraventricular hemorrhage. The patient had a cerebral hemorrhage that was caused by high blood pressure. Before the vaccination, the patient had been thoroughly screened. However, because the patient had taken medication before, his blood pressure was normal and stable.
The incident was a coincidence, the old man suffered a stroke after being vaccinated, not due to vaccine shock. There are no complications from vaccinations of this type… Mr. LHY’s family also agreed with the diagnosis and conclusion of death.
However, to clarify the matter, Nghe An Department of Health has established a professional council and sent two working groups to the Provincial General Hospital and Hung Nguyen District to inspect and clarify the matter.
This afternoon at 2:00 p.m., the Health Sector's Professional Council will meet and make a clear conclusion./.
