As concerns and anxieties about Corona grew, many people flocked to the Moderna vaccine pre-order, which started today (12th), from dawn.

The reservation site stopped for a while, and the pre-booking was eventually stopped as the secured vaccine stock quickly ran out.



Correspondent Kim Yong-tae reported.

Approximately 3.52 million people between the ages of 55 and 59 are subject to vaccination.



Hundreds of thousands of people flocked to it as soon as pre-booking started at 0 am this morning.



The reservation site is virtually dead, with no connection at all or the estimated waiting time being displayed for up to 70 hours.



[Reservation for vaccination at age 55: I have a friend who wakes up at 3 am, and I can't connect again after 7 am.] Not



only people in their 50s but also other reservations had to sleep through the night.



[Reservation for vaccination: Even if you can't, you can't access the website from 1:30 to 2:00 (in the morning), so if you try to enter, the website will be 'eaten'.]



I wanted to make a normal reservation in the morning, but around 3:30 pm Reservations have been canceled altogether.




There was no notice of the first-come-first-served deadline, so protests rushed to the front-line hospitals.



[Hospital staff: There are more than 70 unanswered calls coming in now. The



government has been belatedly explaining that as 1.85 million people made reservations, the last week of July and the first week of August, that is, the confirmed supply, has run out of reservations.



[Lee Sang-won / Head of Epidemiological Investigation and Analysis Team, Central Quarantine Countermeasures Headquarters: I apologize for the short communication about the incoming volume and guidance.]



However, the government said that enough vaccines for people in their 50s will be introduced in July and August. 55-59 years old, who could not make a reservation today, explained that additional reservations will be made from the 19th.



Recurring reservation site failure several times said that it would improve by introducing a network load balancing system.



However, the fundamental measures to eliminate the early morning lineup were not clearly presented this time as well.
