New Delhi: Vaccines are being implemented across the country to beat coronavirus epidemics. Meanwhile, quoting government data, CNN News 18 has received information that 488 people have died across the country after the vaccine, while 26 thousand people have complained of serious side effects during this period. In the language of science, this is called Adverse Event Following Immunization (AEFI). Let us tell you that such data is collected in every country so that the side effects of the vaccine can be reduced in the future. These figures are from 16 January to 7 June.
If the figures are to be seen carefully, the number of deaths is very less. Till June 7, 23.5 crore people have been vaccinated across the country. During this, 26200 AEFI cases have come. That is, if it is seen in percentage, then it is only 0.01 percent. In other words, it can be understood in such a way that within 143 days, only one person out of 10 thousand people showed more side effects of the vaccine, while 2 died in every 10 lakh vaccine.
Rare cases of serious side effects
According to the data received so far, Bharat Biotech’s Covaccine and Serum Institute of India’s Covishield, both these vaccines have 0.1% AEFI cases. Experts believe that looking at the figures, both the number of deaths and the cases of AEFI is very few. In such a situation, experts are advising to apply the vaccine. Let us tell you that so far more than 3 lakh people have died due to corona in India. In such a situation, at present, the vaccine is the only real and powerful weapon to beat Corona.
Estimation of death
According to government data, about 2% (488) of the total cases (26,200) of AEFI were deaths. A total of 301 men and 178 women were among the dead. The gender of the remaining nine people is not mentioned in this data. Among those who died, 457 people were given a dose of Kovishield. While 20 of those who died were given Covaxin. Details of at least 11 people were not available. Keep in mind that 21 crore doses of Covishield have been applied in the country. Whereas only 25 million vaccines of Covaccine have been found so far. That is, if you look at the percentage, then this number is very less.
