The day after tomorrow, the COVID-19 vaccination for residents and workers in nursing hospitals and nursing facilities over 65 will begin.
President Moon Jae-in will also receive the AstraZeneca vaccine on the first day of vaccination over the age of 65 ahead of attending the G7 Summit in the UK in June.
The Corona 19 Vaccination Response Promotion Team announced today that 376,000,724 people who were hospitalized, admitted, and workers aged 65 years or older in nursing hospitals and nursing facilities will receive the AstraZeneca vaccine sequentially from the day after tomorrow.
Inoculations will be given on the 23rd in nursing hospitals and on the 30th in nursing facilities.
In the case of nursing hospitals, full-time doctors give their own vaccinations after a preliminary examination, and in nursing facilities, the inoculation team at the public health center visits the facility or the target person visits the public health center to get the vaccine.
In addition, from next month, vaccinations will begin for residents and workers at facilities for the elderly, facilities for the disabled, tuberculosis patients and Hansen residents, and homeless facilities, which are vulnerable to COVID-19 infection.
The government plans to protect them and reduce the burden of quarantine through vaccination against outbreaks and high-risk groups with high risk.
In addition, 11.5 million people, including seniors 65 years of age or older, special education workers, health teachers, police, military personnel, firefighters, and aviation crew members will be vaccinated in the second quarter.
Meanwhile, the Blue House said in a briefing on the 15th that President Moon and Mrs. Kim Jeong-sook will be vaccinated with the AstraZeneca vaccine on the 23rd.
At the time, Blue House spokesman Kang Min-seok said, “This is a vaccination for the essential purpose of leaving the country to attend the G7 Summit in the UK in June.” .
