President Moon Jae-in said that in February of next year, it will be possible to start vaccinating COVID-19 vaccines for group inmates and workers in medical staff and elderly care facilities. President Moon said at a meeting of the Blue House chief and aides on the 28th, “The most important basic principle of the government to deal with corona is the disclosure of transparent information,” and “the same applies to vaccines”. President Moon said, “The government expects to be able to start vaccination starting from February of next year, starting with group prisoners such as medical staff and elderly nursing homes and workers with priority.” Earlier, after the government announced that it would introduce the Corona 19 vaccine from February to March next year, President Moon said, “Prepare ahead of the vaccination plan,” but it seems that the vaccination schedule has not been pushed further. President Moon continued explaining the vaccine through all remarks at the meeting. President Moon said, “There are some concerns that Korea has not secured enough vaccines or that vaccination will be delayed. “It’s not true,” he said. “The government has been operating a government-wide support system for several months, and has been making every effort to secure vaccines by listening to experts’ opinions.” “(Vaccine) has already secured sufficient quantities, and we are pursuing to secure additional quantities in case of an unexpected situation. In addition to the security that must be observed during the negotiation and contract process for the introduction of vaccines, the government’s policy was revealed at that time, and the people are seeing that the policy is being realized one by one.” President Moon did not omit support for the development of domestic vaccines and treatments. President Moon said, “It is also necessary to establish vaccine sovereignty in preparation for the prolonged period of the corona. In order to completely end the corona and return to daily life, all three measures of quarantine, vaccine, and treatment must be equipped.” . In addition, he said, “The government has revealed the prospect that the vaccine development will not be behind the world level, but the treatment will not fall behind, and it is proceeding without a hitch.” President Moon said, “The 2020 year of cataclysmic catastrophe that no one could have expected is shortly left. Even if we are making miraculous savings in quarantine and economy amid the global coronavirus pandemic, the people are suffering. “I can’t figure it out.” President Moon said, “People who are in crisis of living due to economic shock as well as suffering from corona infection and death, those suffering from frozen employment, unemployment, and unpaid leave, all have a hard time have. The government will never turn away from that fact and face it, and we will do our best to overcome difficulties together.” By Lee Wan, staff reporter [email protected]
