Pfizer vaccines that have been introduced so far are about 58,000 people introduced by KOVAX Facility, an international vaccine purchasing organization.
The government also signed 13 million contracts with Pfizer's headquarters, of which 500,000 will enter 250,000 each in the fourth and fifth weeks of this month, health officials said.
An additional 3 million people are expected to arrive after April.

Targets for the 500,000 Pfizer vaccinations that will arrive at the end of this month have not been confirmed.
Depending on the vaccination sequence, medical institutions and pharmacy workers may receive the vaccination, or residents and workers aged 65 or older in nursing hospitals and facilities for which AstraZeneca vaccination has been withheld.
Whether AstraZeneca vaccine will be vaccinated for the elderly aged 65 or older is determined by the Vaccination Committee held today (10th), and the prospect of expanding the target of vaccination is predominant.
Yesterday, 64,000 people were vaccinated a day, and the cumulative number of inoculations reached 383,000.
After vaccination, the number of deaths reported increased by 2 to 13 people.
In addition to the eight tentative conclusions that there is no link between vaccine and death, health authorities are investigating the remaining five.
