[라포르시안] As a result of analyzing the current status of vaccines for preventing COVID-19 obtained in 12 major countries including the United States, one of the three was counted as the AstraZenecaZeneca vaccine.
On the 24th, Rep. Shin Hyun-young of the Democratic Party, a member of the National Assembly’s Health and Welfare Committee, revealed the status of securing the Corona 19 vaccine secured by major countries such as the United States, the EU, and India received from the Ministry of Health and Welfare.
According to data, the corona vaccine obtained in 12 countries including the United States amounted to about 5,060 million doses, of which AstraZeneca vaccine accounted for the highest 1.85 billion doses (36.6%).
Mum ▲ NovaVax 1.29 billion dose (25.4%) ▲ Pfizer 620 million dose (12.2%) ▲ Sanofi-GSK 530 million dose (10.5%) ▲ Janssen 390 million dose (7.7%) ▲ Modena followed by 380 million doses (7.6%).
In the United States, the first to approve Pfizer and Modena vaccines and start vaccinating them, Pfizer and Modena vaccines accounted for 20% of the total amount of vaccines secured. The EU accounted for 34% and the UK at only 15%.

The low ratio of Pfizer and Modena vaccines was analyzed because mRNA vaccines were approved first, but there is a limit to actual production.
According to foreign media, vaccinations for general citizens in the United States and the United Kingdom are also scheduled to be conducted through AstraZeneca and NovaVax, and AstraZeneca is the largest in the amount secured.
Rep. Shin Hyun-young said, “There is a regret that it would have been good if we had acquired Pfizer and modder vaccines a little earlier, but the government’s judgment that secured a lot of highly stable vector vaccines such as AstraZeneca has reasonable grounds.”
“In the future, securing the amount of vaccine and signing a contract is important, but there are many more important issues such as establishing a cold chain system, preparing an inoculation institution, determining priority vaccination, and preparing a medical response and compensation system in the event of an abnormal case.” “When the vaccine actually enters Korea, the government as well as the opposition parties should work together to prepare conditions so that vaccination can be quickly and efficiently and stably.”
