[전국]AstraZeneca vaccine shipment…transport operation unfolds in tension

[앵커]

AstraZeneca vaccine departed from the factory to the distribution center ahead of the day after tomorrow’s COVID-19 vaccination.

We will connect the factory and the distribution center in order to find out the atmosphere.

Let’s go to Andong.

Reporter Yoon-jae Lee, Vaccines started a factory a little while ago. How is the situation there?

[기자]

Yes, about an hour and a half ago, you must have seen the vaccine leave the factory.

At this factory, I was escorted by the police and the military and departed for the Icheon Distribution Center around 10:13 am.

I left a little earlier than the original plan to leave the factory around 10:30.

They moved while being escorted by the police and the military, allowing them to realize that overcoming Corona 19 is one step closer.

All the vibration-free trucks that departed just before were loaded with vaccines that could inoculate 300,000 doses and 150,000 people.

Starting today, a total of 1.5 million doses will be shipped in five days.

Prior to today’s shipment, Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun personally visited the factory here to conduct final inspections and leave the vaccine.

The phrase,’Korea’s first permit, shipment of Corona 19 vaccine’ was engraved on the truck loaded with the vaccine.

Earlier, SK Bioscience signed a consignment production contract with AstraZeneca in July of last year.

Although small quantities were shipped from the factory here for clinical trials, etc., today is the first time a vaccine is supplied in large quantities.

Police commandos will keep the vaccine by moving with it until it reaches the distribution center.

The police also plan to continue working on the alert as vaccine production continues at the factory.
