[사회]”The first vaccine is for Pfizer’s 60,000 people”…

[앵커]

The first Corona 19 vaccine to enter Korea has been virtually confirmed for 60,000 Pfizers.

With the goal of starting vaccination within the first quarter, the vaccine introduction schedule is gradually becoming concrete.

The schedule for introducing vaccines through the international vaccine co-purchasing organization,’CoVax Facility,’ is being specified.

Of the 10 million contracted with Kovax, the first to come in is 60,000 Pfizer vaccines.

It is the first vaccine in Korea.

In the first half of this year, up to 2.19 million AstraZeneca vaccines will be introduced through KOVAX.

In addition to the vaccine supplied by COVAX, the amount of the individual contracted by the Korean government with a pharmaceutical company totals 56 million people.

In addition, we are pursuing an additional contract with NovaVax for 20 million people.

The government is visualizing the vaccination schedule, such as improving the vaccine advance reservation system.

Vaccination is expected to start with medical staff in the first quarter and expand to the majority of the general public in the third quarter.

However, as the conditions for supply and demand for vaccines are deteriorating around the world, the acid that must be overcome for smooth vaccination is still high.
