The Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said, “It is not officially under consideration to increase the number of people to use per vial of vaccine by 1-2.”
On the 27th, the Agency for Disease Control and Prevention said in a briefing that “the number of vaccinations per vial of vaccine can be increased by 1 to 2 people” was reported. It is recommended to use” he explained.
On this day, the Corona 19 Vaccination Response Promotion Team sent an official letter to the vaccination site stating that the number of vaccinations per vial of the vaccine was increased by 1-2 people in Korea.
When using a special’low dead space, LDS’ developed by domestic companies, the number of people vaccinated per bottle of Pfizer vaccine is 6 to 7 people, and the number of people vaccinated for AstraZeneca vaccine is 10 to 11 to 12. It increases to people. The official explained, “When using the minimum residual sterilized syringe, if the remaining amount remains after vaccination for the recommended number of inoculations per vial, additional vaccinations can be made in order to reduce the amount of waste.”
However, at the briefing that day, the Korea Disease Administration clarified its position that “there is not considering a plan to increase the number of users.” The disease administration said, “If you use a vaccine, the residual amount may remain if you use the minimum residual syringe,” and said, “The number of doses may vary depending on which syringe was used and the nurse’s skill level.” Since the number of possible vaccinations per vial is fixed, it means that the remaining amount may remain.
In addition, “the amount of spare per vial is not constant,” he said. “The remaining amount may vary depending on the situation at the actual site. Regarding the residual dose inoculation, it is judged according to the situation on the site, and the residual dose inoculation itself is not mandatory,” he said.
Furthermore, he said, “The amount of inoculation per dose must be observed, and it is absolutely forbidden to collect and use the remaining amount from several vials (bottles) at once.”
