[앵커]

With the corona19 vaccination starting next week in Korea, the government conducted a simulation training to deliver the vaccine of AstraZeneca, which is consigned in Korea, from the factory to public health centers nationwide.

In particular, training to safely deliver airplanes and helicopters to island areas including Jeju Island was carried out in three dimensions both on land and in the air.

We will connect reporters in the Ministry of Defense to find out more details. Reporter Seung-yoon Lee!

A mock training was conducted today to safely deliver AstraZeneca’s Corona 19 vaccine, which starts vaccination a week later, to public health centers nationwide?

That’s right.

AstraZeneca vaccine will be released from SK Bioscience’s Andong factory, which has a contract for consignment production on the 24th, and vaccination will be performed from the 26th.

The government practiced the entire process of sending the vaccine by land to a large distribution center in Icheon, Gyeonggi-do, and then delivering it to 25 public health centers across the country under a joint convoy of small decomposition special forces and police.

The training included delivery to the islands of Jeju and Ulleungdo. The vaccine is usually delivered to the island by ship or civilian aircraft, but the military used C-130 military transport aircraft and helicopters in this training, assuming contingency conditions such as bad weather. The transport process was also checked.

On the 3rd, the government conducted the first training to transport Pfizer vaccines to cryogenic distribution centers and vaccination centers immediately after arriving in Korea.

The AstraZeneca vaccine, which is the subject of today’s training, can be transported at 2-8 degrees of video, unlike Pfizer Modena products that require cryogenic distribution.

This vaccine has been approved as the No. 1 product in Korea, and will be given priority to hospitalized, residents, and workers under the age of 65 in nursing hospitals, nursing facilities, mental care and rehabilitation facilities nationwide from the 26th.

The Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, the National Police Agency, the Fire Department, local inoculation agencies, including health centers and nursing hospitals, and distributors participated in this mock training led by the Ministry of Defense.
