AstraZeneca vaccine, which started from the distribution center in Icheon, Gyeonggi-do in the early morning of today (25th), is currently being delivered to over 1,900 public health centers and nursing hospitals.
A reporter is out at the public health center in Dobong-gu, Seoul, where vaccination starts tomorrow.
Reporter Kim Hyung-rae, has the vaccine arrived there now?
<Reporter>
Yes, the vaccination will begin tomorrow morning at the Health Center in Dobong-gu, Seoul where I am.
However, the 500 vaccines that are scheduled to come today have not yet arrived.
Originally, it was expected to depart from the Icheon distribution center in Gyeonggi-do, where the vaccine was stored, at around 5:30 a.m., but as it is the first delivery, the temperature check is getting longer and the overall delay is a little.
When the vaccine arrives, the first thing to do here is to make sure that the temperature is maintained during transport and that the quantity is correct.
After that, the vaccine is stored in a dedicated refrigerator until tomorrow.
<Anchor> Let's
arrange what the vaccination schedule will be in the future.
<Reporter>
Yes, the first vaccination in Korea starts at 9 am tomorrow.
It targets workers and residents under the age of 65 in nursing hospitals and facilities nationwide. When asked the first vaccination person yesterday, Jung Eun-kyung answered that "everyone is the first vaccination person," who are vaccinations nationwide simultaneously.
As the vaccination starts at the same time in public health centers and nursing facilities nationwide, we will not target a specific person.
Some local governments have released regional 1 vaccinations tomorrow.
In the case of Sejong City, a nursing hospital nurse was selected, a doctor and a nurse from Hongseong Korea Hospital in Chungnam, and the head of the radiology department of a nursing hospital in Daejeon.
The health authorities plan to complete the first dose of the 289,000 people who agreed to the vaccination within the next month.
