On the 27th of last month, the first day the ‘1st inoculation’ who received the Pfizer vaccine will receive the second vaccination.

As the vaccination starts at 9 am, the hands of transferring the vaccine solution to the syringe become busy.

Visitors who come to re-vaccination after 3 weeks receive a pre-examination and move to the inoculation room as if they were familiar.

After another injection, the vaccination process is over.

During a day, 320 employees of the National Medical Center completed the second vaccination.

At the forefront of treatment for confirmed patients, I was always anxious about infection, but the expectation that I can finally get a proper immunity is growing.

Up to now, more than 56,000 workers in the COVID-19 treatment ward have received the Pfizer vaccine.

Starting with the Central Vaccination Center, Pfizer’s 2nd vaccination will take place in order at each regional center and hospital.

In the case of the AstraZeneca vaccine, which has been hit by 620,000 people, the second vaccination is expected to begin around the end of April to May, as it requires a period of 10 to 12 weeks.

More than 84% of those who were eligible for priority vaccination in the first quarter completed the first vaccination.

From next month, vaccinations will begin in facilities vulnerable to infection, such as facilities for the elderly, facilities for the disabled, and schools.

Starting on the 23rd, people who are 65 years of age or older in nursing hospitals will be vaccinated against the Corona 19 vaccine.

The quarantine authorities decided to receive an application for vaccination if they go abroad for important public affairs and economic activities, even if they are not subject to vaccination.
