Go Jae-young, head of the crisis communication team at the Central Defense Response Headquarters, at a press conference on this day, said, “If it is normal, (medical staff) sit down and immediately transfer to a syringe and inoculate. After), he said, “I put the cap on,” he said, “I took it off right before the vaccination.”

The disease agency explained that the recap is judged by the medical staff according to the situation. Jeong-ik Hong, head of the Vaccination Planning Team, Dae-bon Bang, said, “After taking the medicine from the vial (injection bottle), I am busy. He said, “If you have two hands, you can inoculate immediately,” he said. “But if you need to do other work, it should not be contaminated, so put a cap on.”
Team leader Hong said, “There is nothing specially set for’it should be covered’ and’no.’ It depends on the situation of the nurse you are working with.” “Contamination prevention is related to the principle. “If you are a licensed medical practitioner, you will work in the least contaminated direction.”
