In addition, 1,498 people who have completed the second dose of the Pfizer vaccine are added, and the cumulative number of people vaccinated is 705,000,110.
It is at the level of 57.7% of those who receive priority vaccination in February to March.
The previous day, as vaccination began for inpatients and workers aged 65 or older in nursing hospitals and nursing facilities, the number of priority vaccinations increased, and the overall vaccination rate fell somewhat.

Currently, the government is vaccinating AstraZeneca and Pfizer vaccines at the initial volume.
Both vaccines require two doses. The AstraZeneca vaccine is given a second dose every 10 weeks and the Pfizer vaccine is given every 3 weeks.
In the case of the Pfizer vaccine, the second vaccination began on the 20th for workers in the Corona 19 treatment hospital.
The number of people who received the second vaccination the day before was 615. By region, there were 519 in Seoul, 56 in Incheon, 36 in Gyeonggi and 4 in Gangwon.
The cumulative 1,498 people who received the Pfizer vaccine had 2 weeks to develop antibodies.
The promotion team aggregates and announces the status of vaccinations and adverse reactions as of 0 o’clock every day. If the vaccination agency is late to register the vaccination information or vaccination history to the computer, there may be some differences in the number of vaccinations per day and the vaccination rate.
Meanwhile, the AstraZeneca vaccination for hospitalized, residents, and workers aged 65 years or older in nursing hospitals and nursing facilities began from the previous day. In the case of nursing homes, vaccinations were initially scheduled to begin on the 30th, but some local governments have advanced the timing by one week.
