‘It doesn’t seem like it will bother you’… When I went to the COVID-19 vaccination site

AZ vaccine on the 26th, Pfizer vaccination started on the 27th

5,266 people will be vaccinated at only 213 facilities on the first day

“I feel like I’m freed from Corona 19”

Yomo (53), who came out of the Seodaemun Public Health Center at 10:00 am on the 26th, the first day of the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19) vaccination, expressed anticipation for a daily recovery. The inoculations who left the public health center after completing the vaccination before Mr. Yoo also said in one voice, “It’s okay (even if you get the vaccine).”

Vaccination will be performed from this day starting with nursing hospitals, facilities and public health centers nationwide. According to the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the AstraZeneca (AZ) vaccine will be vaccinated for 289,000 residents and workers under the age of 65 in nursing hospitals and facilities starting on the 26th. In nursing hospitals, vaccines are distributed and inoculated by themselves, and in nursing facilities, vaccination personnel visit the facility or the person subject to vaccination visits the public health center. On that day, 5,266 people will be vaccinated at only 213 nursing facilities nationwide. This volume was commissioned by SK Bioscience, and 56 refrigerated distribution vehicles (163,000 doses) were delivered to nursing hospitals and public health centers nationwide from the dawn of the 25th.

The steps of morning vaccination candidates to get the vaccination from early in the morning have continued throughout the public health centers of the autonomous districts in downtown Seoul. Hwang In-hye (55), the 1st vaccinator at the Seongdong-gu Public Health Center, said, “I am grateful for being the first to be vaccinated.” Kim Bok-ran, 58, who received the vaccination after Hwang, was relieved, saying, “I have been taking care of the elderly (corona 19 infection), but I don’t think it will cause any trouble in the future.” In the morning of this morning, five workers at the Iam Nursing Home received the AZ vaccine at the Seongdong-gu Public Health Center.

Those who were vaccinated seemed to care about the risk of side effects of the vaccine. Kim Yong-jin (52), director of the mental rehabilitation facility, Lee Eum, who is the first inoculation at the Gangdong Health Center, said, “Wouldn’t it be nice if you were the first to get right?” “Some people say that the vaccine is unstable, but they trust the Korean screening and evaluation procedures. Mr. Yoo, who had been vaccinated at the Seodaemun Health Center, said, “I am not worried about the vaccine at all,” and said that he would recommend the vaccination to people around him.

The president visited the Mapo-gu public health center to encourage safe and rapid vaccination. President Moon looked at the vaccination site of Kim Yun-tae (60), a doctor at the Nexon Children’s Rehabilitation Hospital, who was the first inoculation at the Mapo-gu Health Center, and Lee Jeong-sun (32 years old), a therapist at the Municipal Western Elderly Care Center, the next inoculator.

From the 27th, the Pfizer vaccine will also begin to target 55,000 workers in hospitals treating COVID-19 patients. This is the quantity introduced through the International Vaccine Supply Organization (COVAX). At the Central Vaccination Center established at the National Medical Center, 199 workers and 101 workers at the hospital for treating COVID-19 patients in the metropolitan area will be targeted. From the 3rd of the following month, vaccinations will be conducted at regional vaccination centers.
