Workers such as health teachers and special school faculty members also started vaccination against Corona 19 from the 2nd.

On this day, for the first time as a school and care space-related worker, health and specialty teachers started vaccinating AstraZeneca. Full-fledged vaccination begins on the 8th, but some health centers where vaccination preparation is quick, such as in Sujeong-gu, Seongnam, Gyeonggi Province, started vaccination first. Special education workers, 49,000 health teachers in kindergartens and schools, and 15,000 teachers and nursing staff specializing in daycare centers for children with disabilities are targeted.
