[사회]Elderly people in nursing hospitals, AZ vaccination this month… what should be noted?

[앵커]

Only AstraZeneca, which was reserved due to a lack of clinical trials for the elderly, will be vaccinated this month.

From about 370,000 elderly people in nursing hospitals and nursing facilities, vaccines are given.

Since they are elderly patients with underlying diseases, more attention, including pregnosis, is required during the vaccination process.

This is reporter Hyungwon Lee.

The Vaccination Committee has decided to inoculate the AstraZeneca vaccine to the elderly over the age of 65.

With over 8 million people in that age group alone, we have to prioritize.

We will be vaccinated this month from 370,000 people, including nursing hospitals and nursing facility residents, who were the first targets of vaccination.

Everyone will get AstraZeneca, and they plan to use the 345,000 people that Kobax decided to receive this month.

If the introduction schedule changes, the current secondary inoculation will be used in advance.

The two doses of AstraZeneca vaccination will be changed to after 10 weeks to increase the amount of time to get the vaccine.

Vaccines are given immediately after a survey of consent to vaccination is conducted for residents of nursing hospitals and facilities by next week.

Since most of the patients are elderly and have underlying diseases, if they are in poor health at all, we have decided to conduct a thorough diagnosis process so that they will not get the vaccine.

In addition, we plan to operate an emergency emergency system and establish a contact network to prepare for any serious adverse reactions you may not know.

Except for these 370,000 people, the rest of the elderly in the community are vaccinated in the second quarter after March.
