[사회]Resumption of AZ vaccination…Preparing for vaccination except under 30 years of age

[앵커]

AstraZeneca vaccination, which was postponed due to the’thrombosis controversy’, has resumed.

It’s been 4 days since the vaccination schedule was temporarily suspended on the last 8th.

We will connect reporters who are out of the field. Reporter Kim Kyung-soo!

Did anyone come to the public health center where reporter Kim was out to get the vaccine today?

You can see the vaccination site behind me.

No vaccinations were scheduled right now.

Yesterday, the quarantine authorities announced the resumption of vaccination, but preparations are needed until the actual vaccination.

As those under the age of 30 are not eligible for vaccination, changes to the existing vaccination plan are inevitable.

Currently, the public health center is preparing for the vaccination to begin tomorrow, such as confirming the vaccination plan and notifying the targets.

Earlier, the inoculation of 142,000 people, including school health teachers, special school workers, and workers at infection-prone facilities, was delayed, and about 38,000 people, including workers at medical institutions under the age of 60 and respondents to Corona 19, were stopped.

This was because of the controversy that blood clots could develop after getting AstraZeneca vaccine.

The quarantine authorities announced the resumption of vaccination yesterday based on expert advice and the results of discussions on the vaccination committee.

The benefits of vaccination outweigh the risk of a very rare specific thrombosis.

However, those under the age of 30 have a higher risk of side effects than the preventive effect, so they have decided to exclude them from the vaccination target.

Among those eligible for vaccination in the second quarter, about 640,000 people under the age of 30 are.

They decided to use a different vaccine instead of the AstraZeneca vaccine, but a specific plan has not been established yet.

People who have already received the AstraZeneca vaccine will receive the same vaccine for a second dose, regardless of age, unless they have had a rare side effect of thrombosis.

So far, I’ve been handing it over from the Mapo-gu Health Center
