“I am very impressed to be involved in the work of transporting vaccines for the safety of the people.
Ahn Seong-sik, head of the highway patrol at the Gyeonggi Southern Police Agency, said on the 24th that he supported the transport of the first new coronavirus infection (Corona 19) vaccine in Korea.
‘AstraZeneca Vaccine’, the first approved Corona 19 vaccine in Korea, came out of the manufacturing plant for the first time on this day.
The police put sidecars, patrol cars, commandos, and riot police in charge of convoys so that the vaccine could safely move to the Icheon distribution center from SK Bioscience’s Gyeongbuk Andong plant, a consignment production plant of AstraZeneca.
Captain Ahn said, “I took a lot of care so that the vaccine transport vehicle would not be terrorized or suffered an accident.”
He pledged, “Because the simulation training was conducted several times, there was no particular difficulty in the convoy process,” and “I will make every effort until Sunday (28th) so that there is no disruption in the vaccine transport business.”
The GTRIB&T Icheon distribution center, which temporarily stores vaccines, also announced that it would reap some of the beauty.
“It is an honor to be able to take the first step for the Korean people to take off their masks and return to their daily lives,” said Lee Pil-hyung, director of GTRIBNT’s vaccine distribution division.
780,000 AstraZeneca vaccines will be delivered to public health centers nationwide for 5 days until the 28th.
The first Corona 19 vaccine in Korea will start at 9 am on the 26th at nursing hospitals, elderly care facilities, and mental care and rehabilitation facilities nationwide.
