President Moon Jae-in visited a manufacturer of minimal residual syringes on the 18th to inspect the corona 19 vaccine vaccination, which will begin at the end of this month. President Moon said, “Because there is insufficient supply of corona vaccine around the world, the world’s attention is focused on the least residual syringe that can inoculate one more person per bottle of vaccine.” “Our small and medium-sized companies Poonglim Pharmatech and Shin-A Corporation , Doowon Meditech is playing the proud role of supplying syringes,” he said. President Moon said that the government plans to purchase 40 million syringes produced by these companies and use them for vaccination. President Moon said, “Punglim Pharmatech plans to provide 127,000 syringes free of charge to the public. It will be used for our people’s Pfizer vaccination.” President Moon also publicly praised Samsung Group affiliates at the site. President Moon said, “Samsung Bioepis, along with the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, was very helpful for (FDA) certification of the United States (Punglim Pharmatech syringe). “I am grateful that Samsung Bioepis CEO Han-Seung Ko was present here today. I said. “Behind the innovation achievements of Poonglim Pharmatech, there was a win-win cooperation between large companies, SMEs, and the government. Samsung first predicted that the demand for minimal residual syringes will increase, and recognized Poonglim Pharmatech’s technological prowess, leading the mass production of excellent products through all-round cooperation, such as supporting automation of production lines and mold technology.”

Earlier, on the 18th of last month, vice chairman Lee Jae-yong of Samsung Group was sentenced to two years and six months in prison for embezzling Samsung Electronics company funds of 8.68 billion won to former President Park Geun-hye and Choi Soon-sil (after renamed Choi Seo-won). Since then, Vice-Chairman Lee gave up his re-appeal, and his sentence was finalized on the 25th of last month and is in prison. At a New Year’s press conference last month, President Moon remarked on the pardon theory of former President Park Geun-hye, saying, “It is the president’s authority to turn and say pardon as soon as the sentence is over. “I do,” he said.
