As the speed of vaccination of the Corona 19 vaccine is accelerating, the Commissioner of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Jung Eun-kyung visited a private vaccination agency in Cheongju, North Chungcheong Province on the 27th to look at the vaccination situation.
The first dose of AstraZeneca vaccine has been resumed for the elderly aged 65-74 and those with chronic severe respiratory disease, which had been discontinued from today due to supply and demand problems.
Commissioner Jeong, who visited the waiting room where more than 20 vaccinators were looking at their health, said, "It's the first day to resume vaccination, so thank you for coming."
Some of the vaccinators also complained, "We wanted to get the Pfizer vaccine too. We are anxious because the vaccination is slow."
"Vaccines cannot be evaluated by type and price, and AstraZeneca can confidently say that it is a vaccine that can be safely received," Chung explained.
He then told the hospital staff, "The most effective way to overcome Corona 19 is vaccination."
