If the spread of Corona 19 is a little lowered, the outbreak will occur again, so the hope of getting vaccinated soon is inevitable. Today (28th), the vaccination plan has finally come out. Next month, the on-site medical staff will be hit first, and we will go on a long 10-month journey.
Reporter Yoon Young-tak detailed how and when to vaccinate.

Let’s divide it largely first.
In the first half, all high-risk corona19 groups will be vaccinated, and in the second half, 30 million adults over the age of 19 will be vaccinated within 3 months, which is the core of the vaccination plan announced today.
The first vaccination will take place next month at the National Medical Center, the first vaccination center in Korea.
The target is 50,000 corona19 field medical staff.
By the end of February, 750,000 people in nursing hospitals and facilities are expected to get the vaccine.
It is a worker for elderly residents, medical staff, and nursing care workers.
In mid-March, 500,000 high-risk medical institutions such as general hospitals and first responders are targeted.
The full-scale large-scale vaccination begins in May.
There are 8.5 million people, including adults 65 years of age and older, people in facilities for the elderly and disabled, and medical staff at general medical institutions.
More than 33 million people need to be vaccinated for 3 months until the second half of September.
All adults over 19 years of age are eligible for vaccination.
Children, adolescents, and pregnant women who do not have clinical trial data were omitted from the vaccination target, but will be added if efficacy is proven through clinical trials by vaccine manufacturers.
Let’s take an example.
Mr. A was informed that he was selected for the vaccination.
Make a reservation through a smartphone app, internet or phone.
You can choose the date and location, but there are restrictions on the duration and medical institution.
Even if there is a vaccine you want to get, you cannot choose.
You can change your appointment due to poor health, but if you refuse without reason, you can only get the vaccination in the last, fourth quarter.
Well-planned, it’s useless if the vaccine doesn’t arrive on time.
Currently, the vaccine supplied by COVAX and AstraZeneca vaccine in the first quarter, Janssen and Modena in the second quarter, and Pfizer vaccine in the third quarter.
Novabacks is also under contract.
Immediately next month, it is known that 750,000 AstraZeneca vaccines and Pfizer vaccine will be available from Kovacs.
The plan is tight.
As we introduce five different vaccines, we need to prepare thoroughly.
However, the exact date of introduction is still.
In order for the vaccination to work on schedule, it is necessary to accurately organize when and how much.
In addition, the rejection to the vaccine must be well explained in advance, and the vaccination schedule for the underprivileged must be set up in detail.
