President Moon Jae-in and his wife, Kim Jung-suk, are vaccinated with AstraZeneca vaccine today (23rd).

President Moon said he plans to inoculate more than 12 million people in the first half of this year, and urged the public to accept the vaccination without questioning the safety of the vaccine.

On the first day of the AstraZeneca vaccination for nursing hospitals and facility patients and workers aged 65 and older, President Moon Jae-in and his wife also receive vaccinations.

This is to attend the G7 Summit in the UK this June.

The Blue House officials who are confirmed to conduct the summit will also be vaccinated.

President Moon stressed that the safety and effectiveness of the AstraZeneca vaccine has been reconfirmed internationally, and that most European countries have also resumed vaccination.

[문재인 / 대통령 : 국민께서도 백신의 안전성에 조금도 의심을 품지 마시고 접종 순서가 되는 대로 접종에 응해주시기 바랍니다.]

In Korea, the pre-preparation was well prepared and the vaccination was systematically performed, so the initial vaccination rate was also fast.

Accordingly, we asked for cooperation from the public, saying that we will increase the speed of vaccination and collective immunity than the original plan.

[문재인 / 대통령 : 백신 수급도 원활히 진행되면서 2분기에는 접종 대상을 대폭 늘려 상반기 중에 천2백만 명 이상을 접종할 계획입니다.]

President Moon said that vaccination is a way to keep himself and the whole of society safe, and urged him to take special caution so that fake news that arouses anxiety about vaccines cannot be caught at all.

Even considering the second dose interval of the AstraZeneca vaccine, the date of President Moon’s vaccination is not so urgent enough to fight for a day.

Nevertheless, the first day of vaccination for elderly people 65 years of age or older, the President and Mrs. Moon taking the initiative to receive vaccinations seems to be trying to dispel controversies about the safety and effectiveness of the vaccine early.
