On the 24th, Rep. Shin Hyun-young of the Democratic Party, along with the National Assembly’s Health and Welfare Committee, analyzed the status of securing corona vaccines by major countries such as the US, EU, and India, and said, “AstraZeneca’s corona 19 vaccine contract reached 36.6% of the 12 major countries.”
According to data submitted by Congressman Shin from the Ministry of Health and Welfare, the corona vaccine obtained in 12 countries including the United States amounted to about 5,060 million doses, of which AstraZeneca vaccine accounted for 36.6% (1.85 billion doses), the largest. .
Following ▲ NovaVax 1.29 billion dose (25.4%) ▲ Pfizer 620 million dose (12.2%) ▲ Sanofi-GSK 530 million dose (10.5%) ▲ Janssen 390 million dose (7.7%) ▲ Moder I appeared in the order of 380 million doses (7.6%).
In the United States, where Pfizer and Modena vaccines were first approved and vaccinated, Pfizer and Modena vaccines accounted for about 20% of the total amount of vaccines obtained. The EU was 34% and the UK was 15%.
Congressman Shin said, “The reason for the low ratio of Pfizer and Moder vaccines is that mRNA vaccines were approved first, but there is a limit to the actual production volume. According to foreign media, inoculations to general citizens in the United States and the United Kingdom are AstraZeneca and NovaVax. It is expected to be carried out through, and AstraZeneca has the most secured quantity.”
“There is a regret that it would have been good if Pfizer, modder, or vaccine had been obtained a little earlier, but there is a reasonable basis for the government’s judgment that has secured many highly stable vector vaccines such as AstraZeneca.” Looking at, not only us but also other countries are making similar judgments and preparations,” he explained.
Rep. Shin said, “In the future, securing the amount of vaccine and signing a contract is important, but there are many more important tasks such as ▲ establishing a cold chain system and preparing an inoculation institution ▲ determining priority vaccinations ▲ preparing a medical response and compensation system in the event of an abnormal case.” “When the vaccine actually enters Korea, the government as well as the opposition parties should work together to prepare conditions so that vaccination can be performed quickly, efficiently and stably.”
