Today (the 5th) is the 100th day since the Corona 19 vaccination started. The reservation rate for AstraZeneca vaccination among the elderly has exceeded 80%. The 4th vaccine provided by the U.S. military in Korea, the Janssen vaccine, also arrived early this morning.

Air Force transport plane loaded with the Janssen vaccine appears over Seoul Airport at around 0:40 this morning.
It has been over 12 hours since takeoff from California Air Force Base.

total of 1,012,800 Janssen vaccines will go through quality inspection
by the Ministry
of Food and Drug Safety and vaccinate from the 10th.
900,000 people, including reservists and civil defense workers over the age of 30, will receive it.
As today marks the 100th day since the start of domestic COVID-19 vaccination, the reservation rate for AstraZeneca vaccinations between the ages of 60 and 74 has exceeded 80%.
[Mr. A (64 years old) / AstraZeneca vaccine reservationer: I was very afraid at first, but everyone around me got it right and there was nothing wrong, so I made a reservation on the last day.] As the
reservation rate soared, it was more than the amount of AstraZeneca vaccine allocated this month
.
The number of reservations has increased.
[Jung Eun-kyung/Director of the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: (over 60 years old) If the intention to inoculate appears a little higher than expected, so it must be unavoidably adjusted, make sure that those who have made a reservation can get vaccinated quickly in early July… .]
Health authorities are judging that the target of 13 million people in the first half of this year will be sufficiently vaccinated.
