Abnormal Reactions Follwing Vaccination

Why does an abnormal reaction occur after vaccination?

Vaccination itself is safe, however, the immunity reaction of the human body vary in each person, not to mention those who have idiosyncrasy. That is why a rare case of abnormal reactions occur in the course of immunity protection. Therefore, a caregiver should closely examine a baby’s status after vaccination. If abnormal reactions occur, make sure to report to a nearby public health center or hospital/medical institute.

In this case, you should immediately call the medical professional at the medical institute where you received the vaccination or visit a nearby hospital/medical institute. Report the abnormal reaction to a public health center in your area or the medical institute where you received the vaccination by phone, or to the Homepage for Vaccination Tips (http://nip.cdc.go.kr).

The Korean government has been managing the Government Compensation Plan for Vaccination Damages since 1995 that offers compensation for doctor’s fees exceeding KRW 300,000 or temporary compensation for disability/death caused by abnormal reactions to the National Immunization Program.
