[백신접종] “I don’t even know I was hit because I’m nervous”… Anticipation for the end of Corona 19 (total)

“I was nervous, so I didn’t even know I had put a needle, but it’s over.”

On the 26th, vaccination to mark the end of the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19), which could not be seen, began.

At 8:50 am on that day, medical staff in blue protective clothing entered the auditorium of the Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju-gu, Gwangju, carrying a cool bag with the phrase’vaccine’ attached.

It was an AstraZeneca (AZ) vaccine that was kept refrigerated at 2 to 8 degrees and kept pampered under conditions that should not be frozen.

Gosook (57), director of the nursing home, was selected as the first inoculation in Gwangju.

Going into the vaccination site wearing a navy jacket and black pants with a tense look, Director Go received a preliminary check to check his health and sleep.

The vaccination ended in no time, just like other vaccinations such as flu.

The moment the first injection needle was injected into Director Go’s arm, there seemed to be a moment of silence, and then a clap broke out with Kim Sam-ho, head of Gwangsan-gu, “Congratulations on the first vaccination.”

Even then, the director remembered a bright smile on his face.

Soon after, a small flower pot with a memo stating that “Each one of us with vaccination is our only hope” was delivered to the director.

‘Karangko’, which has the flower language of’excitement’, was planted in the flowerpot, and a representative of a flower farm in the hall donated 170 to deliver it to vaccinations.

Director Go, who moved to the waiting area to observe the state after the vaccine, said, “The injection needle went lightly, so I didn’t feel any pain.”

Following the director, Jeong Jin-deok (57), who was the first inhabitant of a nursing home, received the vaccine.

Jung, who became a national merit in an accident in the military, was in an electric wheelchair, so he had to seek medical help whenever he moved to a pre-examination, vaccination, or waiting area.

Jeong, who gave the vaccination with a rather expressionless face while staring at the front, replied, “It’s okay, it doesn’t hurt” to the doctor’s question if it was okay.

After the vaccination, the high director, who met at the waiting area, held out his fist saying, “You have a hard time,” and Mr. Kim also greeted him brightly with his fists.

Jeong said, “After Corona 19 is over, I want to meet a family I haven’t met so far,” and “I hope that the nursing home program will work properly so that all life will come to life in a good mood.”

Finally, the nursing homes left all reporters, quarantined and sterilized, and started vaccinating the rest of the inoculations.

Each vial (bottle) of vaccine contains 10 people, so it will be divided into 10 people every 10 minutes, and 140 people, including 135 workers under the age of 65 and 5 residents, will be inoculated.

In the case of general nursing facilities that are not specialized medical facilities, such as veterans nursing homes, vaccinations were performed by medical staff at public health centers at each ward office.

In the Biennale Silver Town, Buk-gu, Gwangju, vaccinations were conducted at a health center, and all 29 employees were eligible for vaccination, except for one employee over 65 years old.

The first time they received the vaccination, the staff who had lost sleep at night sat in front of the nurse to receive the vaccination, and their faces burned red in tension and their arms with their sleeves began to tremble.

The same was true of the medical staff who were tense vaccinations.

Since all medical staff were mobilized for vaccination, the hand of the nurse at the health center who held the syringe in his hand after a long time also trembled slightly.

The attention focused on vaccination must have come as a burden.

The procedure for distributing a bottle of vaccine to 10 people was also tricky.

The syringe was inserted into the bottle, the correct amount was taken out, and the medicine was carefully put into the syringe, slower than usual, following the instructions that “do not hit or shake the syringe”.

In the guidelines that the vaccine once opened should be used within a few hours, the opening time was carefully written down with an oil pen on the opened vaccine.

In other vaccinations, the syringe is flicked and the medicine pops out to drain the air.However, because the medicine of the vaccine must be accurate, removing the air with a syringe inserted into the vaccine bottle was a different procedure.

The nervous medical staff smiled at the vaccinated subjects, saying, “Don’t be nervous, take a deep breath and exhale, it hurts less.”

Employees who received the vaccination took a break in a waiting area in a separate space and observed for adverse reactions.

Most of the staff said they felt less painful than other vaccinations, but said the vaccination site felt heavy.

Myung-soo Kim, who received the vaccination for the first time at this hospital, said, “Because I am a nursing facility worker, I am very impressed by getting the vaccine before others.” I think I can do it.”

The health authorities completed the vaccination for 3,11 people in 47 places, including Gwangju nursing hospitals and nursing facilities, during the day.

There has not yet been an unforeseen situation of concern, including adverse reactions after vaccination.

The AZ vaccination, which started on this day, will target 10,351 people in 148 places.

After the first vaccination, the second vaccination is scheduled to be administered at intervals of 8 to 12 weeks.

On the 25th, the AZ vaccine for 3,200 people and 11,000 people for the vaccine arrived in Gwangju that day and distributed to 60 nursing hospitals.
