At 10 am today, a 5-ton vibration-free truck loaded with 347,000 doses of AstraZeneca vaccine first shipped in Korea appeared in front of the SK Bioscience Vaccine Center.



Under the strict guards of the military and police, the safety personnel in charge of transporting the vaccine closely inspect the vehicle.



After Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun attaches a seal with his name on the container, the transport vehicle with a police car in front of it gradually leaves the center, receiving applause from officials.



About 40 military and policemen, who were divided into police motorcycles, patrol cars, and riot police buses, guarded the front and rear of the transport vehicle and drove two hours to the distribution center in Icheon, Gyeonggi-do.



For cold chain monitoring, the vehicle's location and vehicle temperature were transmitted to the integrated control center in real time.

After arriving at the distribution center, there is a container for exclusive use of the cold chain containing the vaccine. It first appeared.




To prevent the containers from shaking, only the containers loaded with the vaccine were moved by a forklift, leaving the emergency containers loaded side by side, but we carefully worked to prevent the containers from shaking or bumping.
