President Moon Jae-in waits for the COVID-19 vaccine at the Jongno-gu public health center in Seoul.
Even a little tense time for a while,
“(It’s tingling.) You put the injection well. (Press and hold for 2 minutes.)”
The vaccination is done in no time.
President Moon and his wife were vaccinated on the first day of vaccination for nursing hospital residents aged 65 and over to attend the G7 summit in the UK this June.
Nine Blue House officials accompanying the visit, including the head of the National Security Office and a spokesperson, were also vaccinated in the same place.
One bottle of AstraZeneca vaccine can inoculate 11 people, so the Moon and the Blue House staff were shared.
The Blue House said that President Moon rested for 30 minutes after vaccination and immediately returned to the Blue House to preside over the staff meeting.
It appears to address concerns about the safety and effectiveness of the vaccine.

Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun also said that the formation of group immunity depends on participation in vaccinations, and showed a willingness to take the initiative if necessary.

The government, which set the target for the formation of group immunity in November, is planning to increase the speed of vaccination so that the timing can be accelerated.
President Moon also reiterated the need to speed up vaccination in order to accelerate return to daily life.
After watching the prognosis of vaccination for a day or two, it is expected to be more active and encourage the public to vaccination.
