[아시아경제 이춘희 기자] Corona 19 vaccination begins on the 26th, but the government still has not confirmed the’domestic first vaccination’, raising questions. Although the quarantine authorities emphasized that “all those who were vaccinated on the first day were vaccinated with the first day,” it is interpreted that the spread of political controversy and the burden of late vaccination were attributable.

Hong Jeong-ik, the head of the vaccination management team of the Corona 19 Vaccination Promotion Team, appeared on MBC radio’Kim Jong-bae’s attention’ on the 25th and said, “All those who receive vaccination at 9 o’clock in each region (26th morning) can be called the 1st vaccination.” “Rather than putting a meaning on Issue 1 itself, it means that it is the first day of vaccination,” he said. The Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC) Commissioner Jeong Eun-kyung also mentioned that the day before, “No. 1 vaccination is a situation where both workers and residents of the facility are eligible for the first vaccination.”

The quarantine authorities will start vaccination of the AstraZeneca Corona 19 vaccine for 289,000 people under the age of 65 hospitals, hospitals, and workers nationwide from 9 am on the 26th. Hospital heads (Gwangju), doctors and nurses (Chungnam), etc., have announced the number 1 inoculations by province, but the number of inoculations nationwide has not yet been confirmed. A different course than overseas, which delivered the message of overcoming Corona 19 through the first inoculation, such as a grandmother in her 90s (UK) and a nurse (USA).

Observations have been raised that whether he was conscious of the situation where controversy arises in the political world. When the conservative opposition party argued that “President Moon Jae-in should give the first vaccination” over the safety of the AstraZeneca vaccine, the Democratic Party lawmaker Chung Cheong-rae met with “Is the head of state the subject of the experiment?” controversy grew. Ahn Cheol-soo, head of the National Assembly Party, said, “I am willing to be met first at any time.”

Overseas, there are cases where Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Czech Prime Minister Andrei Babis received the first vaccination. However, the government explained that the situation is different from Korea, where the vaccination consent rate reaches 93%, as these countries had extremely high distrust of the vaccine. Earlier, President Moon said, “I will not avoid it if the anxiety is so high that I am in a situation where I am avoiding the vaccine, and a situation where an example is necessary.”

The AstraZeneca vaccine transport vehicle was shipped from SK Bioscience Factory in Andong-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do on the 24th, when the first shipment of the AstraZeneca Corona 19 vaccine in Korea began, and arrived at the GTRIBNT distribution center in Icheon, Gyeonggi-do. The vaccine that arrived at the logistics center on that day is scheduled to be delivered to public health centers and nursing hospitals across the country from the 25th, a day later, with 150,000 people, which is part of the 750,000 people contracted by the government. 2021.2.24 Photo Sharing Foundation

It is analyzed that the late vaccine introduction also contributed to the government’s lukewarm attitude. According to’Our World in Data’, an international statistical site at Oxford University in the UK, out of 196 countries in the world (based on the United Nations (UN)) as of the 23rd, a total of 101 countries started vaccinating Corona 19.

When the domestic vaccination begins on the 26th, it will be the 102nd in the world, two months after the first general vaccination of the Corona 19 vaccine in the UK on December 8 last year. For the government, which has been showing off its quarantine results with the’K Defense’, it seems that it is difficult to give meaning to the first vaccination.

The NASDAQ rose, but Apple, Amazon, and Facebook fell. Tesla, which fell sharply in conjunction with the bitcoin market price, surged 6.2% and succeeded in stopping the downtrend.

The market trend has shifted to economic-related weeks. The strong aviation and petroleum stocks are representative. On that day, Boeing surged 8.1% and oil major Chevron rose 3.7%. Banking stocks were also strong, with JP Morgan rising 1.76% on the back of rising interest rates.
