Abstract:
COVID-19 has spread worldwide and is one of the most threatening infectious diseases in the world. Vaccination is known as an effective method to protect susceptible populations against such diseases. The Coronavirus vaccine developed by Sinovac has been shown to have a high protective effect, but it also has potential adverse events. For example, our department saw two patients with reported cases of deafness that occurred after inoculation with the Sinovac Coronavirus vaccine. While deafness is only a rare adverse event from the Coronavirus vaccine, whether other vaccination centers, hospitals, and centers for disease control (CDCs) have encountered similar cases still needs to be investigated, reported, and analyzed.
