order to put a brake on the fourth wave, it is important to keep strong distance, but it is also important to increase the rate of vaccination. From tomorrow (12th), vaccinations for those who are going to enlist in the military will start with advance reservations for vaccinations for the 55 to 59 years old.

Yesterday, 12,000 people received the first dose of the vaccine, accounting for 30.4% of the population.



While the number of new vaccinations has been stagnant for nearly a month, the expansion of vaccination has become urgent as the 4th pandemic has progressed.



Fortunately, the pace is expected to pick up this week.



First of all, Pfizer vaccinations will start tomorrow for those who are going to join the military.



About 70,000 conscripts, recruiters, and non-commissioned officers who have been notified of enlistment in each military are eligible.



[Lee Sang-won / Head of Epidemiological Investigation and Analysis Team, Central Quarantine Countermeasures Headquarters: Vaccination before enlistment is not compulsory, so you can get it if you wish. However, please apply if you can complete the 1st and 2nd vaccinations before enlistment.]



Pfizer vaccines obtained from the Israeli government through a 'vaccine exchange' will be fully administered from the day after tomorrow.



More than 340,000 people are targeted, including those who frequently meet with many people, including private academies, transport workers, delivery drivers, and environmental sanitation workers.



In addition, about 380,000 education and childcare workers who were scheduled to be vaccinated from the end of this month will receive the Pfizer vaccine provided by the Israeli government first.



Pre-orders will be held for six days from tomorrow for about 3.5 million people between the ages of 55 and 59 who will receive the Moderna vaccine from the 26th.



Those aged 60 to 74 who canceled or postponed their reservation during the first half of the vaccination period can also make a reservation in advance.
