[사회]Preparing for the operation of the central vaccination center… “The first vaccination of medical staff in the metropolitan area”

[앵커]

The Central Vaccination Center installed in the National Medical Center is accelerating preparation for operation.

Pfizer and Modena vaccinations, which require cryogenic distribution, will be vaccinated at the center, but it seems that medical staff in the metropolitan area will be the first vaccination targets.

There is a reporter on the site. Reporter Dayeon Kim!

You will be vaccinated against the incoming Pfizer vaccine mid this month?

[기자]

That’s right.

In the middle of this month, 60,000 Pfizer vaccines are coming to Korea.

As you said, the first vaccination is expected to be given to medical staff in the metropolitan area.

Originally, this was a quarantine ward for confirmed corona19 patients.

It was decided to operate one in the three wards as an inoculation center.

Preparations are in full swing inside and outside the building, but first, we are checking the traffic lines and personnel with the goal of inoculating 600 people a day.

The vaccination center is largely divided into 4 zones.

These are the waiting area, the vaccination area, the observation area, and the vaccine storage area.

In the waiting area, you will measure your temperature and fill out a questionnaire.

In the questionnaire, you should write about your pregnancy or underlying disease, history of allergies, and medications you are currently taking.

Here, the atmosphere is different from the general vaccination in that it is not a simple atmosphere, but it selects the recipients.

It is very important to confirm the target because it is operated in the manner specified in the list of people to be vaccinated.

Next, pre-diagnosis and vaccination are performed to check the health status, and a separate waiting space is also provided to prevent the patient from being crowded or pushed between the movement lines.

After vaccination, you will be moved to the observation area to check for adverse reactions.

You usually wait 15 minutes, but if you have a history of allergies or have a special risk, you wait for 30 minutes.

If you have a severe allergic reaction such as anaphylaxis, you will be transferred to a hospital after initial response in the emergency department.

Finally, there is an area where vaccines are stored.

The storage conditions for Pfizer, modders, vaccines, etc., which must be managed at -70 degrees and 20 degrees, respectively, are difficult.

Imported vaccines are transferred to the vaccination center through domestic freezer storage, where there are two cryogenic freezers and two refrigerators.

The received vaccine is stored in a frozen state, and only the required amount is thawed by receiving the number of people to be inoculated the day before.

In this way, there will be 250 vaccination centers nationwide that will receive Pfizer and Modena vaccines.

The National Medical Center will be in charge of training for regional and regional vaccination centers that will be installed later.

It is also important to prepare so that there are no disruptions in the distribution process.

The government is also conducting mock training in preparation for unexpected situations that may occur in all processes from transportation and vaccination.
