“Israel is said to take off its mask from April, so we have high expectations.”
“I was right, looking forward to the daily routine of taking off the mask. If that happens, I have nothing more to wish for.”
“It feels like a flu shot.”
These are the feelings of the nation’s ‘1st inoculation’ who received the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19) vaccine. On the 26th, the central quarantine countermeasure headquarters of the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention started vaccination at 9 am on the 26th at 4156 hospitals, residents and workers in 4156 nursing hospitals nationwide and nursing homes for the elderly. The vaccine used for the first vaccination was the AstraZeneca (AZ) vaccine.

Kim, who wore a dark blue coat and a white mask, got an AZ vaccine on his shoulder at 9:01 am that day. After the vaccination, Mr. Kim complained of mild rumbling symptoms, but after about 15 minutes, he said, “It’s okay, it’s good.” Mr. Kim said, “I heard that the number of confirmed cases in the UK (which has already begun vaccination) will be reduced to a quarter and Israel will take off the mask from April, but we are very excited. I think it would be nice.”
Heungdeok, Yongin-si, Gyeonggi-do The first vaccination of Yongin-si who received the vaccine at our nursing hospital vaccination center was Kwak Se-geun (59), a patient in this hospital. Mr. Kwak said, “I think only when my family members will gather together and talk to each other (that’s right) and then I have nothing more to hope for.” After the vaccination, “I don’t feel anything. It’s comfortable,” he said.
As the quarantine authorities started vaccinating simultaneously across the country, the number of’No. 1 vaccinators’ became more than one. In the COVID-19 vaccination special briefing held on the 24th, Jung Eun-kyung, head of the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said, “In the order of vaccination, residents under the age of 65 in nursing facilities, inpatients, and workers are eligible for vaccination.” The first vaccination target” has been described.
“It’s better to get the vaccine and be relieved than to be anxious”

Arriving at the Sejong City Public Health Center at 8:40 am, he filled out a questionnaire, checked his health, such as fever, and got a vaccine. Mr. Lee said, “It is better to be relieved with the vaccine than to be anxious without getting the vaccine.” “Even after vaccination, there is little pain. I hope that other people will be able to safely get the Corona 19 vaccine and return to their daily routine this year.”
The first inoculation in Daejeon City is Choi Heon-woo (46), director of the radiation department of the Sungshim Medical Center. Mr. Choi said, “I waited for the vaccine with the hope that the corona 19 would end as soon as possible while seeing the situation in which the visitor could not meet the patient.” We hope that our hospital will be the starting point for the end of Corona 19.”
In Jeungpyeong-gun, Chungcheongbuk-do, Jeong Mi-kyung (53), director of the Jeungpyeong Elderly Nursing Home, was on the list of No. 1 inoculations. Director Jeong said, “The fever rose a little right after the vaccination and the arm was weak, so one shoulder felt heavy.” “After about an hour, the fever disappeared and the fatigue was reduced.”
Lee Sun-hee, head of the Seoul Elderly Nursing Center, who is the 1st inoculation in Jecheon, Chungcheongbuk-do, said, “Visit to nursing hospitals or nursing homes with a high risk of COVID-19 group infection was restricted, which made residents feel depressed.” I want to go back,” he said.
Daegu’s nursing facility No. 1 inoculation was Kim Hye-won (61), the head of Dr. Kim’s Elderly Care Center. “Thank you so much for getting the vaccine for the first time. “I applied for the vaccination in the hope that the elderly in nursing homes could see their children as soon as possible.”
