The first vaccination of Pfizer's vaccine, which was temporarily suspended due to a shortage of supplies, is expected to resume at national vaccination centers from the 22nd.
To this end, the government notified local governments across the country to confirm the schedule for the first vaccination for senior citizens aged 75 or older, users of facilities for the elderly, and workers by this week.
The total number of people who were selected for the first vaccination and the first vaccination was postponed was 2.40 million.
An official from the promotion team said, "Since the interval between the first and second vaccinations of Pfizer vaccine is 3 weeks, we will focus on the first vaccination for 3 weeks from the 22nd. We will focus on the second vaccination again until the end of June."
Pfizer vaccine currently has 720,000 doses left, and if an additional 4.42 million doses arrive as scheduled by the end of next month, all 2.40 million unvaccinated people can complete the second dose.
