today (7th), kindergarten and daycare teachers, police officers under the age of 30, and firefighters can schedule vaccinations.
However, there was talk that office workers in their 20s, who were not the target, could also make a reservation for the vaccine, and in fact, about 20,000 people made a reservation.
Reporter Kim Deok-hyun covered what happened.

Mr. A, an office worker in his 20s, heard through his acquaintances' KakaoTalk chat room this morning that even people who are not subject to vaccination can make a reservation now.
I immediately went to the government website and applied for a reservation, and I was able to get the vaccination date right away.
The vaccine was Pfizer.
Articles certifying the success of the reservation were posted on various SNS sites, and rumors spread that employees of large companies in key industries such as semiconductors would receive preferential treatment.

who succeeded in booking 20,000 .
Previously, the government included workers in their 20s who did not receive the AstraZeneca vaccine among those eligible to receive the Pfizer vaccine.
There was also one medical institution affiliated with the company, but even ordinary employees in their 20s who were also on the health insurance list were registered incorrectly.
The government is planning to send a cancellation text message to 20,000 people who have made an incorrect reservation.
The government also said that only 200,000 people under the age of 30 who will receive the Pfizer vaccine received reservations on a first-come, first-served basis, and the remaining 67,000 reservations will be postponed until next month.
