Connect to reporters who are out on site.
Reporter Park Soo-jin, the vaccine will arrive at the distribution center soon?
<Reporter>
Yes, the distribution center behind me is the distribution center where AstraZeneca vaccine will arrive soon.
The AstraZeneca vaccine, which left the factory in Andong, Gyeongbuk, at 10:30 a.m. today (24th) is said to arrive here in about 10 minutes.
As the news of the arrival of the vaccine is announced, the preparation of the vaccine is in full swing here, but the military and police guards are strict, and reporters are also gathered.
The AstraZeneca vaccine that will arrive here today is known to have 430,000 doses.
When a 5-ton vibration-free truck loaded with vaccines arrives here, the refrigerated container in it is unloaded, and the container is connected to the distribution center dock to transport the vaccine inside.
Since this vaccine must be stored at 2 to 8 degrees Celsius, we check to see if this standard temperature is maintained. After that, we will distribute the vaccine in preparation for delivery tomorrow.
