New Year's Day next month. So, before February 12th, the possibility of a vaccine coming into our country is increasing, and the government is speeding up the preparation for vaccination.
As it is difficult to get all of the vaccines in hospitals, we decided to establish 250 vaccination centers nationwide.

150 candidates for vaccination centers that the government has received from local governments so far.
80% of them are large-scale public facilities such as indoor gyms and civic centers.
These are ground facilities that are easy for many people to distance from, have natural ventilation, and have good mobility and accessibility.
It was also considered whether it had a power plant that would operate a cryogenic freezer to store the vaccine 24 hours a day.
We plan to select at least one inoculation center nationwide, at least one in total, and 250.
We plan to inoculate up to 1,000 to 3,000 people a day at one vaccination center.
One vaccination center requires as many as 110 medical personnel, including 20 doctors and 40 nurses, and it is expected that 9,000-27,000 people should be secured nationwide.

We are planning precisely how to procure these personnel.] The
government
plans
to receive candidates for vaccination centers by tomorrow (22nd) and finalize them early next week.
Along with the vaccination center, 10,000 consigned medical institutions that will be in charge of vaccination will be selected from among hospitals designated for flu vaccination.
In the midst of this, the military in charge of transporting and distributing the vaccine said it would make the most of private companies in the transportation process from the airport to the hospital.
