As AstraZeneca vaccination is allowed for people over 65 years of age, related facilities are also preparing for vaccination.

The nursing hospital staff calls the patient caregivers.
As the AstraZeneca vaccination becomes possible, even 65 years of age or older is able to identify the candidates for vaccination.

Patients, workers in nursing hospitals, and residents of facilities are the priority targets, reaching 370,000 people nationwide.
It is expected that the vaccination will be given by confirming the vaccination doctor by next week, and the vaccination will begin within this month.
The expectation that elderly people can be immunized is growing as they receive the vaccine until the age of 65 or older.

At the same time, there is also a lot of anxiety about whether there will be any problems after vaccination.
[요양병원 관계자 : 많이 아프고 지나가는 사람이 더 많은 편이니까, 아픈 걸 듣고 봤으니까 조금 몸 상태가 안 좋으신 분들은 웬만하면 접종을 안 하시는 방향으로 가지 않을까….]
In particular, among the elderly aged 65 or older, there are many people with underlying diseases that require special attention.
[기평석 / 요양병원 원장 : 자기 의사 표현이 불분명한 경우도 많이 있고 기저질환이 많으신 분도 많기 때문에, 예진을 철저히 해서 백신에 의해서 도움이 될 수 있겠다 이런 분들만 굉장히 선별해서….]
The government is also planning to guide people with poor health so that they do not receive vaccinations because they are unreasonable.
In addition, it is planning to operate an emergency emergency system in case of any serious adverse reactions.
