It is known that there is a possibility that the number of vaccinations per vial (bottle) of the novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19) vaccine developed by Pfizer in the United States will increase from 6 to 7.
On the 27th, the first day of domestic Pfizer vaccination, the National Medical Center verifies a plan to increase the number of vaccinations per vial using a special’minimum residual syringe’ (LDS) developed by domestic companies.
If the number of vaccinations per vial increases from 6 to 7, it becomes the first case in the world.
National Medical Center head of the National Medical Center Chung Ki-hyun said to Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun, who came to observe the Pfizer vaccination that day, “The injection is good, and the nurse’s skill is so good that further results can be produced.”
He said, “If I do it properly in the morning, I think I can verify it,” he said. “When the frozen Pfizer vaccine is defrosted, there is about 0.45cc, and if 1.8cc of physiological saline is mixed, the total amount becomes 2.2cc. If you use cc, you will get 7 servings.”
Myung-don Oh, the head of the Central Vaccination Prevention Center, said, “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, but the syringe is good enough to leave the amount remaining even after pulling out 6 people.”
The day before the 26th, Korea received 58,500 Pfizer vaccine supplies through the COVAX facility, an international vaccine supply organization.
