However, he developed fever and chills that night. He went to the emergency room for medical treatment and hospitalized for treatment due to fever and abdominal pain the next day. The medical committee initially determined that the case had no symptoms after two vaccinations. Emergency medical treatment such as fever and hospitalization cannot be determined to be related to vaccination based on the timing of occurrence. Therefore, it is recommended that two doses of relief be given for 20,000 yuan.
VICP reviewed a total of 141 cases this time, of which 17 cases were approved for relief, including 7 cases for AZ vaccine, with relief amounts of 5,000 to 400,000 yuan, 4 cases of Moderna, with relief amounts of 5,000 to 30,000 yuan, and 4 cases for BNT. In one case, the relief amount was 5,000 to 10,000 yuan. In the high-end case, the relief amount was 5,000 yuan. In one case, two brands of vaccines, AZ and Moderna, were administered. Both doses resulted in rash all over the body and hospitalization. Depending on the treatment situation, a total of 20,000 yuan in relief funds will be awarded.
The case that was awarded the maximum amount of 400,000 yuan in relief this time was a man in his 40s from New Taipei City. Zeng Shuhui explained that Guillain-Barre syndrome is acute polyneuritis, an acute peripheral neuropathy. The case was vaccinated after vaccination. After the AZ vaccine, he went to the hospital for numbness and weakness in his limbs. He was diagnosed with Guillain-Barre syndrome.
