With the AstraZeneca vaccine scheduled to be vaccinated for the first time in Korea this coming Friday, 117,000 doses of Pfizer vaccine and 58,000 doses of the Pfizer vaccine will arrive in Korea on the same day.



The vaccine introduced this time is not a direct contract with Pfizer, but is inoculated to medical professionals who treat COVID-19 patients in quantities first received through CoVax, an international project for vaccine joint purchase.



AstraZeneca vaccine, which is started one day before this, is available from residents and workers under the age of 65 in nursing hospitals and nursing facilities.
