Waiting for the corona vaccine.
USFK has started vaccination at three bases: Pyeongtaek, Osan and Gunsan.
This primary supply is identified as at least 4,000 doses, all of which are modders or vaccines.
Essential personnel, such as medical staff and command, are given priority.
USFK Commander Abrams, who was vaccinated while wearing clothes with the phrase to eradicate the'Kill the Virus' virus, said, "I strongly recommend that all qualified members get the vaccine."
This includes KATUSA Soldiers and Korean workers serving in the USFK.
Discussions between Korea and the United States are in progress, but the government is planning to report to the US after resolving the issues of responsibility in case of side effects, as the vaccine has not yet been approved in Korea.
[Boo Seung-chan/Ministry of Defense Spokesperson: There was an official request for consultation from the USFK side, and detailed matters such as vaccination targets and schedules are currently being discussed with relevant ministries.] In
response to the Korean government's request to wait until the consultation is over, today's vaccinations The USFK said that Korean nurses and others were excluded.
However, the supply of US forces in Korea is a problem as the Korean government is also a moderator or vaccine, which is hard to secure, and the government's review will not take long.
