President Moon Jae-in said on the 18th that the corona 19 vaccination will take place at the end of February or early March, and “at the latest in November, collective immunity will be completely formed.” Regarding the concerns about the safety of the Corona 19 vaccine, President Moon said, “You can rest assured. If there are side effects, I will compensate enough,” and “If there is a need for an initiative, I will not avoid it.” Recently, 29 deaths have occurred in Norway after the COVID-19 vaccination, and public anxiety over the safety of the vaccine is growing.
President Moon said, “The quarantine authorities have said that the first vaccination will be in late February or early March,” he said. “If that happens, it is reported that there is a possibility that the timing of vaccination and the timing of vaccination may be a little earlier,” he said. “Of course, it is not confirmed, I will only say that it is possible.”

President Moon said, “All vaccines have some side effects. There may be more serious side effects starting with very mild pain,” said President Moon. “If side effects beyond the normal range occur, the government will fully compensate. I said.
When asked,’Do you intend to get vaccination first in order to relieve public anxiety?’ President Moon said, “The president and other public officials do not need to be a priority (for vaccination) except for public officials engaged in quarantine. “If the anxiety about the vaccine becomes very high, and it becomes a situation to avoid, I will not avoid it if it becomes necessary to take an example.”
President Moon mentioned the possibility of easing quarantine measures, saying, “It is clear that the third coronavirus epidemic is breaking down.” President Moon said, “If we can keep the number of confirmed cases below 400 (the number of confirmed cases per day) this week, we expect to be able to ease the quarantine stage.” On this day, the number of corona confirmed patients recorded 300.
President Moon said, “I feel more seriously because the collective infection of the eastern detention center has occurred in a facility operated by the state,” he said. There is,” he said.
President Moon said, “There have been many cases in other countries of the occurrence of group infection in detention facilities such as prisons, but there are some peculiarities.” I think it has spread due to a large-scale spread.”
President Moon said, “I learned a lesson that if a confirmed case occurs, it is necessary to clearly classify those who have been confirmed earlier, contacts, and safer people.” The government will do its best to prevent the spread.”
