Authoritative release of joint prevention and control mechanism ｜ Vaccination with COVID-19 vaccine will not cause leukemia and diabetes.

CCTV News:Recently, there were rumors on the Internet that someone got leukemia and diabetes after being vaccinated with COVID-19 vaccine. According to experts’ introduction at the press conference, according to clinical monitoring and statistical data, in the four years before and after the COVID-19 epidemic, the number of medical visits and hospitalizations of diabetes and leukemia were basically the same, with no significant change, which indicated that vaccination with COVID-19 vaccine would not cause leukemia and diabetes.

Wang Fusheng, Director of Infectious Diseases Department of the Fifth Medical Center of PLA General Hospital:In 2018 and 2019, before the outbreak of COVID-19, the proportion of hospitalization for leukemia in China was 0.15% and 0.14% respectively, while in 2020 and 2021, the proportion of hospitalization after the outbreak was 0.13%. In 2018 and 2019, the proportion of diabetes hospitalization was 2.1%; In 2020 and 2021 after the outbreak, the proportion of hospitalization was 2.2%. According to China’s epidemic prevention and control policy, China has carried out large-scale vaccination of COVID-19 vaccine since last year. At present, China’s 3-mdash; 12-year-old children and 12-mdash; The vaccination rate of 17-year-old teenagers in COVID-19 is 90%— 100%, the total number is nearly 250 million. Under the background of such a large-scale vaccination in COVID-19, it is inevitable that a large number of vaccinations are coupled with the natural occurrence of some serious diseases. You can simply calculate that if COVID-19 vaccine really causes diabetes and leukemia, then the number of patients and hospitalizations will increase significantly, but this phenomenon has not been seen from the actual monitoring and clinical statistics.
