The delay in the introduction of a novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19) vaccine is largely due to the government’s overweight on the development of its own vaccine and thus not actively operating the plan B called the introduction of overseas vaccines. Has become. President Moon Jae-in’s remarks about vaccines this year, which were released by the Blue House on the 22nd, bears a mixed will of hope to’develop a vaccine to the end’.
文 “Domestic self-development, see the end”
President Moon emphasized the importance of developing a domestic vaccine from the beginning of the Corona 19 incident earlier this year. On April 9, President Moon said, “We will certainly help develop treatments and vaccines,” while presiding at the Institute in Pasteur Korea in Seongnam, Gyeonggi Province, and presided over the’Corona Treatment and Vaccine Development Joint Conference’. We will stockpile the developed treatment and vaccine (even when the corona is over). See the end.”
The Blue House drew a blueprint to raise the level of the domestic bio-medical industry with the success of the Corona 19 vaccine development. President Moon said at a cabinet meeting on April 14, “We should speed up the development of vaccines and treatments and use it as an opportunity to increase the level of biopharmaceuticals.” On September 8th, the State Council also ordered “to support the development of vaccines by the National Institute of Infectious Diseases to enhance its ability to respond to infectious diseases.”

It is only after September that the message’Vaccine acquisition’ is in full swing.
The message of President Moon’s’overseas vaccine acquisition’ came out in earnest after September, which had already ended the’vaccination war’ of major countries. “Sure enough vaccines through global pharmaceutical companies, etc.” (September 15 Blue House Staff Meeting) “The issue of vaccine stability should be based on science and medicine. Do your best to secure it” (November 24 staff meeting) “Secure enough stocks to do so. Don’t think roughly” (November 30 staff meeting). Countries that have started vaccination this month are in contrast to those that have already started a vaccine purchase contract in July and August.
While ordering overseas vaccine security, President Moon said, “Even if other countries develop first, even if the coronavirus passes, develop until the end for vaccine sovereignty. Let’s see the end” (visiting SK Bioscience in Seongnam on October 15th). You can see how much you wanted to develop your own vaccine.
Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun also pointed out the’efforts to secure domestic vaccines and treatments’ as the reason for the delay in introducing overseas vaccines. He appeared on the KBS Sunday Diagnosis on the 20th and said, “We expect our vaccine to be released by the end of next year, and the government was in the position to obtain the necessary amount of vaccine on time.”
However, the dominant evaluation of the pharmaceutical industry is that the development speed of domestic vaccines was slower than that of overseas global pharmaceutical companies.
President Moon Jae-in visited SK Bioscience in Seongnam, Gyeonggi Province on the afternoon of October 15th as part of a site visit to a company developing a corona19 vaccine, and is listening to an explanation of the research facility from SK Bioscience Research Team Leader Lee Kun-se. yunhap news
‘Vaccine development”Vaccine introduction’…if we did it early
It is a natural decision that the government devoted itself to developing its own vaccine. This is in preparation for the situation where the bio powers that first developed vaccines are wielding’vaccine nationalism’ and using vaccines as weapons. Moreover, last summer, when the government focused on developing vaccines, the number of corona19 confirmed in Korea remained below 100.
Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun appeared on the KBS Sunday Diagnosis on the 20th and said, “When the vaccine task force (TF) was activated, the number of confirmed cases was about 100.” “There is a side that I did not think to increase the dependence on vaccines that much.” did. However, if the government listened to the opinions of experts that Corona 19 would spread in earnest in winter, so if the vaccine development and vaccine introduction were promoted at the same time, there is a high possibility that the controversy about the delayed response to the vaccine would not have occurred.
