Pfizer vaccination is being done today, Sunday?

[기자]

That’s right.

Pfizer vaccination started again today at 10 am.

Until tomorrow, the vaccination will continue without holidays here.

Today, 200 corona19 medical staff in the metropolitan area are subject to vaccination.

Vaccinations are scheduled by time slot, with 100 in the morning and 100 in the afternoon.

Yesterday, when the first Pfizer vaccination was performed, a total of 300 people, including 199 medical staff and administrative staff at the National Medical Center, received the Pfizer vaccine.

The center said that there were 4 to 5 people who complained of dizziness and nausea and watched them carefully in the intensive observation room.

He explained that those who complained of side effects would be checked again at the second dose.

Starting from here, vaccinations begin on the 3rd of the following month at vaccination centers in the Chungcheong, Yeongnam, and Honam areas.

Pfizer vaccines must be stored at a very low temperature of around -70 degrees Celsius, and it is difficult to control the amount of the vaccine.

The quarantine authorities plan to finish the first vaccination by the 20th of next month, and the second vaccination by April 10th, three weeks later.

In the meantime, did the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention allow the number of vaccinations per bottle of vaccine to be increased according to the judgment of the field?

[기자]

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention did not formalize increasing the number of vaccinations, but allowed it to be judged based on site conditions.

In the case of one bottle of Pfizer vaccine, there is a quantity that can fit 6 people.

In addition, if you use the smallest residual syringe developed in Korea to reduce the amount of vaccine waste, more people can get the vaccine.

The quarantine authorities did not formulate this vaccination method, but it was decided based on the situation in the field.

However, since the remaining amount of one vaccine bottle depends on the skill level of the medical staff, the remaining amount of vaccination is not mandatory.

The quarantine authorities said that the efficiency of vaccination can be improved by minimizing the discarded vaccine by using the syringe well

He stressed that the amount of inoculation per person must be kept and that the remaining amount in several bottles must not be collected and used.

The Central Vaccination Center also vaccinated only 6 people per bottle yesterday.

The center added that it plans to inoculate additional personnel in the future if there is residual quantity.
