Following AstraZeneca, Pfizer vaccination started today (27th). About 300 medical staff fighting Corona 19 got the vaccine first. The 1st inoculation was an employee in charge of medical waste, but the injection did not hurt, and after being hit, the reaction continued to be reassuring.

The first vaccination of the Pfizer vaccine was held at the Central Prevention Center in the National Medical Center in Seoul from 9 am today.
Take out of the cryogenic freezer and dilute the previously thawed vaccine in saline to prepare a single dose.
The moment the first vaccination is made,

The 1st inoculum was a beauty salon in their 50s who was in charge of medical waste treatment in the ward of corona19 confirmed patients.
[정미경/화이자 백신 1호 접종자 : 맞는 순간 아, 이게 주사인가. 이럴 정도로 하나도 느낌이 없었습니다. 지금까지 지켜보고 있는데… (부작용 증상은) 없었어요.]
Subsequently, the National Medical Center medical staff and about 300 medical staff at the Corona 19 hospital in the metropolitan area received the vaccine.
[조안나/국립중앙의료원 감염중환자실 간호사 : 코로나 환자를, 중환자 간호를 맡아왔는데, 맞고 나서 더 든든하달까요? 최선을 다해서 중환자 간호하겠습니다.]
Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun also visited the vaccination site and encouraged the inoculators and medical staff.

Those who have received the first vaccination will receive the second vaccination after 3 weeks.
The 58,000 people that were brought in this time are planned to be completed by the 2nd vaccination on April 10th with the quantity supplied by KOVAX Facility, an international organization for joint vaccine purchase.
Of the 13 million people signed by the government directly with Pfizer, 500,000 will be supplied at the end of next month.
As planned, the Pfizer vaccine is expected to be fully vaccinated from April.
