The Blue House said that President Moon Jae-in is not making the first plan for the Corona 19 AstraZeneca vaccination starting on the 26th. It is explained that there is no need for the President to go for a’leading vaccination’ as the situation is not so much anxiety that many of the people avoid vaccination. In a phone call with the Blue House official on the 19th, “Most of the medical staff in nursing homes and nursing homes applied for the vaccine. In this situation, there seems to be no need for the President to be met first (to relieve anxiety).” Previously, former lawmaker Yoo Seung-min, a member of the People’s Power, posted a post on his Facebook this morning stating that “AstraZeneca, the President must be met first to eliminate distrust.” Rep. Yoo said, “Some medical staff are refusing to receive (vaccine) vaccination.” At a press conference on January 18, President Moon Jae-in said,’If the vaccine anxiety increases, I will not avoid getting hit first.’ The time has come to keep those words. The president insisted that the first dose of AstraZeneca should be given.” At a New Year’s press conference, President Moon asked if he would be the first to vaccination to relieve his anxiety about vaccination. “If there is no disruption in vaccination, the president and other public officials do not have to be a priority except for public officials engaged in quarantine,” he said. He added, “If the anxiety about the vaccine really increases and it becomes a situation to avoid the vaccine and something needs an example, I will not avoid it.” According to the results of the poll that came out on the day, it was found that while the willingness to get the corona vaccine was quite high, there was also anxiety. Gallup Korea said that 71% of them responded that they would receive the vaccine as a result of inquiring about their intention to receive the Corona 19 vaccine. 19% of respondents said they would not get vaccinated, and 10% said they did not know. However, 71% of respondents answered that they were worried about the vaccine’s side effects. 26% answered’I am not worried’. The survey was conducted from the 16th to the 8th, targeting 1,000 people aged 18 or older nationwide.
