[사회][앵커리포트] Pfizer’s’Direct Purchase’ Vaccine First Arrival

[앵커]

The number of new confirmed cases, which had decreased to 300, surpassed 400 again in one day.

As of today (24th) 0 o’clock, it was 428, an increase of 82 from the previous day.

It seems that the spread of staying in the 3~400 people is rarely broken.

As such, the key indicators of distance adjustment are not improving.

In fact, the average number of local outbreaks per day for the last week was about 411.

It is in the range of 2.5 steps.

In terms of the number of confirmed cases, the situation is worse than the current distancing stage, which is the second stage in the metropolitan area and 1.5 stages in the non-metropolitan area.

In particular, I am worried that the proportion of new confirmed cases with unknown infection routes is still high.

As of yesterday’s 0 o’clock, it reached 26.2% in the last two weeks.

Through latent infection in the blind spot of the quarantine network, the spread can explode at any time.

This is why the government’s hardships are deepening ahead of the end of the existing distance on the 28th.

In the midst of this, 250,000 Pfizer vaccines entered the country today.

This is the first delivery of 13 million people signed by the government directly with Pfizer.

After 250,000 people at the end of this month, an additional 3 million people will be introduced by June.

Including the Pfizer vaccine, the government has secured a total of 79 million people.

In addition to the vaccines that have already been supplied, the government plans to accelerate the introduction of the remaining quantities through consultation as much as possible.

Then, we will connect the site and find out more details. Reporter Shin Joon-myeong!

Some of the Pfizer vaccines that came into Korea are stored at the National Medical Center, right?

[기자]

Yes, it is.

Pfizer’s vaccine arrived at the National Medical Center here around noon, four and a half hours after arriving at Incheon International Airport today.

1,950 vials, that is, 11,700 times as little as 11,700 times, as much as 13,650 times.

There are 500,000 doses of Pfizer vaccines in Korea today.

The government contracted directly with Pfizer and individual contracts could fit 250,000 people.

It was produced in Belgium and arrived at Incheon International Airport at around 7:30 a.m. today after passing through Cologne, Germany and Shenzhen, China via a cargo-only aircraft.

After receiving quality checks before distribution at Incheon International Airport, they are loaded onto 15 delivery vehicles and delivered to 22 vaccination centers nationwide for storage.

This amount will be used for vaccinations for seniors aged 75 and over starting on the 1st of the following month.

Pfizer vaccination targets over the age of 75 total 3.64 million people, with an additional 250,000 coming in at the end of this month.

The government plans to bring in 3 million more by the second quarter.

The number of vaccines the government has secured to date is 79 million people.

The contracts for 10 million people through COVAX Facility, an international vaccine supply organization, and the rest are contracted separately with pharmaceutical companies.

If we look at individual contract vaccines by type, Pfizer vaccines for 13 million, AstraZeneca for 10 million, Janssen for 6 million, and Modena and NovaVax for 20 million each.

On the 31st, a portion of the AstraZeneca vaccine supply, which is the supply of Cobax facilities, is also scheduled to come into Korea.
