A 62-year-old Hong Kong man who was inoculated with the mainland’s KeXing vaccine in early March suddenly became ill in the street recently and died before he could be taken to hospital after reporting himself. This is the 12th case of death after vaccination since the opening of the Kexing vaccine in Hong Kong.
The Hong Kong Department of Health confirmed in a reply to an inquiry on the 4th that it received a report from the Hospital Authority on Friday (2nd) morning of a death case in which a 62-year-old man was found to be in respiratory distress on the street that morning, and ambulance personnel found him in cardiac arrest when they arrived, and he died after being taken to hospital.
The deceased had received the vaccine on March 8, 25 days before his death, and had no record of discomfort during his stay at the vaccination center after the vaccination. In addition, the deceased was diagnosed with hypertension on April 1.
The Department of Health said it is obtaining more information about the incident and will refer the case to the New Crown Vaccine Clinical Event Assessment Expert Committee for causality assessment according to the established mechanism.
12 people died after receiving Kexing vaccine, dampening Hong Kong people’s confidence
The Kexing vaccine is the first New Guinea virus (NNV) pneumonia vaccine introduced by the Beijing government in Hong Kong. It was hastily approved for emergency use in Hong Kong by the Hong Kong government’s Vaccine Advisory Expert Committee in February this year. However, since the Phase III test data of the KX vaccine was reportedly not published in international medical journals and did not meet the standards set by the Hong Kong government earlier, the community widely questioned that the Hong Kong government was pressured by Beijing to “give the green light” to the KX vaccine.
Since the inoculation of the Kexing vaccine began on February 28 in Hong Kong, about 320,000 people have been vaccinated so far, and the second dose of the vaccine has entered its 10th day. In just over a month, 12 people have died after receiving the vaccine, and eight others have developed facial paralysis after receiving the vaccine, causing a major setback to Hong Kong people’s confidence in vaccination.
As of Saturday (3), 9,100 people have received the second dose of Kexin vaccine, 1,900 people have dumped the bottom, the single-day dumping rate is 17%; cumulatively, so far, it has increased to about 14,500 people have not received the second dose of Kexin, the cumulative dumping rate is 17%.
At the same time, after the German BioNTech vaccine resumed next Monday (5), appointments for the first week at several centers were full after the resumption of appointments on Saturday (3). According to reports, about 42,300 people made appointments for the first and second doses of Fibrate on a single day Saturday, more than 12 times the number of people who made appointments at Kexing (3,200).
