[뉴스초점] AstraZeneca vaccine, the first domestic vaccination started today

The first vaccine vaccination for Corona 19 in Korea starts at 9 o’clock after a while.

About 5,000 people, including nursing hospitals and nursing facility residents and workers nationwide, will receive the AstraZeneca vaccine.

From now on, I will discuss the overall progress of vaccination and the vaccines that will be supplied to Korea in the future with Kim Kyung-woo, professor of family medicine at Seoul Paik Hospital and reporter Lee Jin-woo of the Ministry of Economy.

<질문 1> After a while, the long-awaited vaccination begins. Vaccinations start all over the country at the same time, right?

<질문 1-1> Is the method of vaccination a little different for this priority candidate? I heard that there is also a service to visit, so please explain in detail.

<질문 2> So, is it safe to inoculate at the same time with other vaccines other than COVID-19? For example, I have just been vaccinated against the flu and I am wondering if I can get the vaccine right away.

<질문 2-1> The vaccine starting today is the AstraZeneca vaccine. There are two doses, but between 8 and 12 weeks after the 1st vaccination, the 2nd vaccination is required. By the way. What should I do if I get the second shot too soon or delayed after the first shot?

<질문 2-2> There is also a story about cross vaccination with other vaccines. Can I cross-vaccination of different types of vaccines at the first and second doses at a medical institution?

<질문 3> For each vaccine, all the military and police were mobilized during the transfer process, reminiscent of a military operation, such an evaluation is coming out. In the case of this vaccine, I paid more attention because storage and transport methods such as refrigeration or freezing are difficult. Please explain how it was transferred and stored.

<질문 3-1> I am wondering why you have been so concerned with storing and transporting the vaccine. Is it because if the temperature is deviated from the proper temperature, side effects or such can occur? Last year, during the flu vaccine controversy, it was a cold chain problem.

<질문 4> Transfer and storage are also important, but the vaccination rules that must be followed at the actual vaccination site will also be important. Isn’t it recommended to get a pre-check before receiving the vaccination or to stay in the waiting area for a certain period of time after the vaccination? This is because there may be an adverse reaction after vaccination. I am curious about any adverse reactions after vaccination.

<질문 5> The AstraZeneca vaccination started today, let’s find out more. The government has tested the AstraZeneca vaccine three times, but wasn’t there much talk from the beginning? For vaccinations over the age of 65, careful vaccination was recommended, and there are voices of concern that this would lead to avoidance of vaccination. What is it?

<질문 5-1> I am curious about the judgment of experts. Regarding the AstraZeneca vaccine, even when the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently held an expert briefing, experts strongly recommended the vaccination that there is no problem with safety and effectiveness. In Scotland, there have also been studies on the effectiveness of vaccines given to actual vaccinators. What do you think about the efficacy and safety of AstraZeneca?

<질문 5-1> Then, I am curious about when will the elderly people over 65 years of age who are excluded this time will be met? Will it be in early April or will it be delayed?

<질문 6> Is there any controversy over the Pfizer vaccine, which will be vaccinated tomorrow? First, at the first expert advisory meeting, vaccinations over the age of 16 were recommended. It has a wider target range than AstraZeneca?

<질문 6-1> Pfizer vaccine was first recognized for its effectiveness, and in terms of safety, it was recommended to monitor after vaccination only if there is a history of anaphylaxis. Let me explain in detail what this anaphylaxis is.

<질문 6-2> Should I return home from the immunization center and have a serious adverse reaction, what should I do immediately?

<질문 7> Vaccination has begun, and the problem is that the Korean Medical Association has been protesting the amendment to the medical law since last week. They even mentioned the general strike and even showed a position that they would not cooperate with the vaccination. What is it about?

<질문 8> Even if it is not a doctor’s strike, if vaccination continues, it will require medical personnel. I wonder if there is such a shortage of medical staff and how the government is preparing.
