After more than a year, the application of immunization against Covid-19 is advancing around the world. In most developed nations, more than half of the inhabitants have already been protected, and this is good news. The problem is that in low-income countries there are still many deficiencies. In addition, new aspects that were previously unknown are still being identified and one of the most recent is the suspected link between AstraZeneca vaccine and brain hemorrhage.
In this sense, from the beginning of the application of the biological of all the pharmaceutical companies, they warned of the changes that they can cause in the body. The vast majority of people develop this type of discomfort, although none is fatal.
What happens when I get the vaccine?
In this regard, the main secondary effects caused by immunizations. Within the list the following stand out:
- Pain at the injection site.
- headache
- Fatigue.
- Fever.
- Shaking chills.
- Nausea or vomiting.
For its part, this type of discomfort usually disappears after a few hours or a maximum of a couple of days. If it lasts longer, it is a warning sign and attention should be sought immediately. The problem is that there side effects that occur in a small number of people but can be fatal. The clearest example is one that recently occurred with the AstraZeneca vaccine and its alleged relationship with brain hemorrhage.
Description of what happened
The case was published by the BBC and occurred in the United Kingdom with a 34-year-old woman. Based on what has been described, It all took place in March 2021 when he went to receive the first dose of the Covid-19 vaccine.
What the medium mentions is that immediately after inoculation it presented a slight headache that gradually increased in intensity. The discomfort was accompanied by blurred vision and vomiting for a week until it led to his death.
At that time, the coroners indicated that the cause of death was Vaccine-Induced Thrombotic Thrombocytopenia (VITT). One of the reasons is that at the time of the incident there was very little information about the deadly side effects of immunizations.
While now, a year after the event, the case has been taken up again. The main reason is because it asks add brain hemorrhage as a side effect of the AstraZeneca vaccine. Now there is more scientific evidence about the damage reported by some people.
Based on what was mentioned by relatives of the deceased woman, she was in good health and even before the immunization she did not suffer from serious problems. Instead, shortly after inoculation she reported that she felt “as if her head was going to explode.”
For its part, the pharmaceutical company has not commented on the matter. Although it should be remembered that a few months ago she had to make a change to the biological label. The reason was for add transverse myelitis as a side effect.
This condition caused by inflammation of the spinal cord even caused the interruption of AstraZeneca’s clinical trials. The truth is that so far there are few cases that have occurred around the world.
For now, the World Health Organization (WHO) has insisted that these types of events should not be misunderstood. The chances of them happening are minimal. For this reason, the population should not make the mistake of avoiding receiving immunization from any company. The benefits are greater than the possible risks that may occur.
