Yes, Pfizer vaccination began a while ago at the Busan National University Hospital in Yangsan, where the Yeongnam vaccination center was established.

The first inoculation here is Professor Tae-Hwa Kim, Department of Respiratory Medicine, Yangsan University Hospital.

This is the inoculation room where I am.

This is the place where the vaccination candidates who have received a visit form and a doctor’s interview get the vaccine.

On the 27th of last month, the first vaccination of the Pfizer vaccine began at the National Medical Center in Seoul.

Starting today, Pfizer vaccination has begun at four vaccination centers nationwide.

Vaccination targets are medical staff working at hospitals dedicated to infectious diseases and life treatment centers nationwide.

Vaccines that would fit 10,000 medical staff in Busan, Daegu, Ulsan, and Gyeongbuk, including Gyeongnam, were stored here.

In addition to vaccination, it also serves as education and training for local vaccination center workers.

Yangsan Pusan ​​National University Hospital was designated as the Corona 19 Yeongnam Vaccination Center on January 29th.

Meanwhile, preparations for operation have been completed by installing a cryogenic freezer that can store Pfizer vaccines and securing 23 vaccination personnel including 2 doctors.

The vaccination has been in full swing from today, but not all of the local medical staff get the vaccine at this vaccination center.

Hospitals dedicated to infectious diseases, with more than 120 medical staff, receive the vaccine directly to reduce the gap in treatment and give the vaccine itself from the 8th.

In the case of Gyeongnam, 5 places are covered, including Masan Medical Center and Samsung Changwon Hospital.

The quarantine authorities plan to finish the first dose of the Pfizer vaccine to more than 55,000 medical staff by the 20th of this month.

Earlier, on the 26th of last month, AstraZeneca vaccination was started for residents and workers in nursing hospitals and nursing facilities.

The vaccination continues smoothly on the 6th day as of today.

The cumulative inoculation of AstraZeneca and Pfizer is 23,86 people.

In addition, the vaccination of 350,000 workers in high-risk medical institutions and 78,000 first responders to Corona 19 will also begin this month.

As vaccination speeds up, I hope that Corona 19 will end as soon as possible.
