Is the 65-year-old AZ vaccine starting? Authorities this week’s decision

310,000 people in 10 days of vaccination… Tactile sensitivity to AZ vaccination for the elderly

Held this week’s Vaccination Specialist Committee, to be finalized

AstraZeneca vaccine will be available to the elderly aged 65 or older, up to 400,000 people, with a new coronavirus infectious disease (Corona 19) vaccination in Korea surpassing 310,000 in 10 days. . Some deaths after vaccination have been reported, but the causal relationship between vaccination and vaccination has not been identified.

On the 8th, the Corona 19 Vaccination Response Promotion Team will hold a’Vaccination Specialized Committee’ this week to decide whether or not to vaccinate the elderly over the age of 65. The government previously withheld AstraZeneca vaccination for residents and workers aged 65 or older in nursing hospitals and nursing facilities. The corresponding population is about 370,000. The government is planning to decide whether to expand the target for vaccination in Korea by combining the decisions of overseas health authorities and the results of clinical data. On the 3rd, Prime Minister Chung Sye-gyun presided over the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasure Headquarters meeting and ordered “The KCDC to gather experts’ opinions once again as the policies of each country are changing”. As the direction of vaccination has been turned, the door to AstraZeneca vaccination for the elderly will be opened in Korea as well.

Meanwhile, in Korea, the vaccine vaccination for Corona 19 is progressing at a rapid pace. The nursing hospital, which started the first vaccination, has already exceeded 80% of the primary vaccination rate, and vaccinations for medical institutions and Corona 19 responders are also in progress.
