As the corona 19 vaccination was in full swing, the government unveiled a strict response policy when a suspected case of'cut-out vaccination' came out.
The nursing hospital is being reviewed with severe sanctions and even criminal prosecution.
Today (3rd), according to the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Dongducheon City, on the 26th of last month when AstraZeneca (AZ) vaccination began, the wife of the manager of management and a non-executive director were known to have received the vaccine at a nursing hospital A in Dongducheon, Gyeonggi-do.
AstraZeneca vaccine priority targets are those who are hospitalized, residents, and workers under the age of 65 in nursing hospitals and nursing facilities, and those who are not eligible have received the vaccination illegally.
At the nursing hospital A, it is said that about 170 people received the vaccine on the same day.
A nursing hospital's side explained that the family members who received the vaccination were registered as hospital workers, but the quarantine authorities are also considering ways to file criminal charges for violating the infectious disease prevention method.
The new Infectious Disease Prevention Act, which will take effect on the 9th, stipulates that those who receive vaccinations through false or other fraudulent methods are subject to a fine of not more than 2 million won.
As a preemptive measure, the quarantine authorities canceled the vaccination service consignment contract signed with this hospital today, and recovered all 3 vials (bottles) of the remaining vaccine that were in storage at the hospital.
In addition, we plan to take action according to the relevant laws by checking who is illegal and who is involved, and whether there are any illegal vaccinations.
In addition, the 2nd vaccination for the 1st vaccination at nursing hospital A has been decided not at the relevant hospital, but at the local public health center.
Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun said at a meeting of the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters in the morning, "The order of vaccination is a social promise made based on science and facts after discussions of experts." "It's deplorable."
Prime Minister Chung said, "It is impossible to condone the act of abandoning social trust. Please take all possible sanctions and take strict measures."
