Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun said he would reconsider the method of vaccinating the elderly with the AstraZeneca (AZ) vaccine.
Currently, the target of AstraZeneca vaccination in Korea is limited to those under the age of 65.
At a meeting of the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters this morning, Prime Minister Chung said, “New research results have been revealed that the AstraZeneca vaccine is effective for the elderly.” I allowed the vaccination.”

I also mentioned the’cut-off vaccination’ from some people.
Prime Minister Jung criticized that “a suspicion was raised that the family of the chairman of the Foundation, who did not work in a nursing hospital in Gyeonggi-do, was given a cut-in vaccine, but it is deplorable if it is true.”
“The order of vaccination is a social promise made based on science and facts through discussions of experts,” and ordered the quarantine authorities to clarify the facts and take strict measures.

In this regard, Prime Minister Chung said in an interview with TBS Radio’Kim Eo-Jun’s News Factory’ this morning, “As parents are concerned about their children’s health, we should consider positively in that dimension.”
