The National Medical Center (NMC) announced that it was able to increase the number of vaccinations per vial (bottle) from 6 to 7 as a result of vaccinating Pfizer’s novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19).
On the 20th, Im-Seok Ko, head of the medical department of the Central Medical Center, met with reporters at the site of the start of the 2nd Pfizer vaccination at the medical center. “It’s possible to increase it,” he said.
He explained, “There was no problem in pulling out one more dose even though I changed the syringe type and hand,” he explained. “This is to proceed with the vaccination without waste.”
When using a special’low dead space LDS’ developed by domestic companies, aka’squeeze syringe’, Pfizer vaccine can be administered from 6 to 7 people per bottle, and AstraZeneca vaccine is per bottle. It is known that it can increase from 10 to 11 to 12 people.
Accordingly, the government allowed the recommended number of vaccinations per vial to be vaccinated and utilized if the remaining amount is sufficient to reduce the amount of vaccine discarded.
Earlier, on the 27th of last month, the first day of the 1st vaccination, Ki-Hyun Jeong, head of the National Medical Center, said, “When the frozen Pfizer vaccine is defrosted, there is about 0.45cc, and when 1.8cc of physiological saline is mixed, the total amount becomes 2.2cc. If you do, you will get 7 servings.”
Pfizer’s vaccine is made by mixing 1.8cc of saline solution into the undiluted solution and inoculating 0.3cc each.
