“That’s right, the infection… I am more concerned about the side effects that may occur to the child.”

“The government is asking pregnant women to be vaccinated to protect high-risk pregnant women, but to be cautious in early pregnancy. Applying the government’s logic, shouldn’t the more dangerous early pregnancy get vaccinated first? The logic of the government’s policy is unreliable. Even if you get the vaccine three times, you will still be infected with COVID-19, wouldn’t it be better not to get it? If it does not fit, there is no need to worry about side effects.”
Mo Kwak (36), who is due to give birth in June, pointed out this and emphasized that she would not receive the third vaccination. Kwak plans to avoid going out after March, when the quarantine pass expires, and undergo a PCR test every time he goes to the hospital.
According to the quarantine authorities on the 23rd, pregnant women were not excluded from the Corona 19 quarantine pass despite opposition from pregnant women. The government has made it clear that it is necessary to actively vaccinate against COVID-19, even for yourself, your family, and your baby.
Kwon Jun-wook, 2nd Head of the Central Quarantine Countermeasures Headquarters, said at a regular Corona 10 briefing on the 20th, “The US, UK, and Canada recommend that pregnant women be vaccinated. should be done,” he emphasized. “Pregnant women are 9 times more likely to be infected with COVID-19 than women of childbearing age who have not become pregnant,” he said. did.

However, pregnant women do not feel the need for vaccination. You can get COVID-19 regardless of whether you’ve been vaccinated, and you don’t have to worry about the side effects that your child will get from getting the vaccine. In fact, the second vaccination rate for COVID-19 is 85.3%. The tertiary inoculation rate is close to 50% (48.6%). The government is even implementing strong social distancing. However, the number of confirmed cases exceeded 7,600 as of 00:00 that day.
Posts about anxiety are continuing in the pregnant women’s community as well. A pregnant woman said, “I canceled my reservation after hearing the news that I was having a child. Another pregnant woman said, “People who have been vaccinated are also infected with COVID-19, but it seems to be pushing them to forcibly vaccinate.” and wrote
Kwak also decided not to get the vaccine. He said, “My mother-in-law showed severe hematuria after the third vaccination, so I went to the hospital, and the hospital told me that there is a high possibility of a side effect of the vaccine. He continued, “I finished the second vaccination, but I don’t know if I need to get the third dose.” He added, “When the vaccine pass expires, it doesn’t harm people around you, and PCR every time you go to the hospital to prove it more reliably than the person who got the vaccine. They will be tested,” he said. Kwak also pointed out that the government’s remarks to ‘pregnant women in the early stages to be cautious about vaccination’ are irresponsible. The government has advised that if the pregnancy is less than 12 weeks, consult a gynecologist before deciding whether to vaccinate. This is because the condition of the fetus can be mistaken for a vaccine. Kwak said, “If the safety of the fetus is important, you should get the vaccine sooner. Asking people to be cautious about getting vaccinated in the early stages of pregnancy because of a misunderstanding seems to be against logic and irresponsible.” said
