Chinese health officials have announced that they will be vaccinated against the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19) for free.

According to the China Times on the 10th, the deputy chief of the China National Hygiene and Health Commission, Cheong Yi-shin, said at a press conference held the previous day, “The cost of vaccination will be covered by the medical insurance fund and the government. Emphasized.

Accordingly, in addition to those who are eligible for the Corona 19 vaccine first, such as medical staff, general citizens who wish to receive the vaccine will be able to receive the vaccine for free.

Currently, in China, vaccines are being given priority to medical staff, workers who manage imported frozen food, and workers such as customs.

Deputy Chief Cheong added that about 9 million citizens have been vaccinated so far, and no side effects have been reported. “This proves that the Chinese Corona 19 vaccine is safe.”

The decision of the Chinese government to “free vaccination” seems to be to promote collective immunity through vaccines as the spread of local community infections continues to occur in each region since the end of Corona 19 was declared at the end of last year.
