【新冠疫苗】本地72岁男子注射疫苗后心脏骤停——是疫苗副作用还是老人免疫力低? 72-year-old local male suffered cardiac arrest after receiving vaccine: side effect or low immunity?

新加坡一名72岁的年长男士在16日上午接种(jiēzhòng – v. to receive (a vaccine))了第一剂新冠病毒的疫苗,谁能想到当晚他就经历了心脏骤停(xīnzàng zhòutíng – n. cardiac arrest),随即送至陈笃生医院的加护病房(jiāhù bìngfáng – n. intensive-care unit)抢救。

这位老者接种的是辉瑞-BioNTech生产的疫苗。这则新闻在本地还是引起了一波争议,因为这有可能是首个和接种疫苗相关的病例。

一方面来说,很多人一直在担心新冠疫苗是否有副作用(fùzuòyòng – n. side effect)。无论是哪个公司的疫苗,从研发到上市都仅经过短短的一年时间。同以往的其他疫苗相比,临床试验(línchuáng shìyàn – n. clinical trial)的时间大大减少,这不禁让人质疑新冠疫苗的安全性。

“Based on Tan Tock Seng Hospital’s initial assessment there is no indication that the cardiac arrest was due to Covid-19 vaccination,” said MOH on Thursday.
新加坡卫生部本周四称,根据陈笃生医院的初步评估,没有迹象表明该男子的心脏骤停是由接种新冠疫苗引起的。
MOH said trained healthcare personnel had assessed the patient to be suitable for the Covid-19 vaccination.
卫生部表明在接种疫苗前,专业医护人员已评估该男子的身体状况是适合接种疫苗的。
In line with the ministry’s protocols, the man was under observation on-site for about 30 minutes after the vaccination and was well.
在接种疫苗后,该男子也遵循卫生部的条例留在现场观察半个小时,状况良好。

另一方面,该男子的高龄和病史(bìngshǐ – n. medical history)也为接种疫苗增加了额外的风险(éwài de fēngxiǎn – additional risk)。

++++++++++
“The patient has a medical history of cancer, hypertension and hyperlipidaemia.”
该病人有癌症、高血压以及高血脂的病史。

医疗团队目前在进行更多检测,以进一步判断该男子心脏骤停的原因。
