If you make 0.3cc, you will get 7 servings,” he explained.

In response, Prime Minister Chung said, “Because it’s a business secret…”

Prime Minister Jung also said, “I was worried about what to do if all 6 people did not come out and served 5.5 people. I thought,’We can trust our nurses because they are excellent,’ but I think it was confirmed that I was not wrong.” Myung-don Oh, the head of the Central Vaccination Prevention Center, also helped, “When I pulled it out in the morning with a syringe specially made by our company, it was pulled very accurately, and it is a vial for 6 people, and the syringe is good enough to remain even after pulling out 6 people.”
