The government will designate and operate 250 vaccination centers nationwide for vaccination of the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19) vaccine, which is expected to be introduced for the first time in Korea early next month.
In an online briefing on the 21st, Park Jong-hyun, the safety communication officer of the Ministry of Public Administration and Security, said, “The schedule for introducing the vaccine has been advanced from the end of February to the beginning of February. “I’m in a hurry.”
The Ministry of Public Administration and Security, together with local governments, is in charge of preparing and implementing vaccinations, such as designating and operating consigned medical institutions and vaccination centers. About 10,000 consigned medical institutions that conduct vaccination and 250 vaccination centers are designated and operated. In the case of a consigned medical institution, “in the case of a consigned medical institution, there is no big problem in designation as it is enough to select an appropriate 10,000 out of the 20,000 hospitals previously designated for flu vaccination.” ·The goal is to operate,” he explained.

One or more vaccination centers per city, county, or district (gu is based on administrative districts), and three in places with a population of 500,000 or more. Considering that as many as 3,000 people are inoculated a day, the inoculation center is capable of natural ventilation and has sufficient space for distance, own power generation facilities for 24-hour operation of cryogenic freezers, and easy to secure standby facilities before and after inoculation. Detailed standards were set to meet requirements such as good transportation convenience. Accordingly, large-scale public facilities such as gymnasiums and civic centers were first used, and sports grounds, parks, and performance halls were also selected as candidate sites.
“Of the 150 candidate sites that were received up to the previous day, 93 indoor gyms, 30 performance and cultural facilities, 12 medical facilities, 10 idle areas, sports grounds, parks, and 5 government offices,” said Park. After the candidates are submitted, they will be reviewed with the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and final selection will be made early next week.” He said, “If there is no appropriate place in the jurisdiction that satisfies the vaccination center standards, we are considering a method of jointly using the vaccination centers adjacent to the vaccination center.” It is also possible to operate a shuttle bus,” he added.
