Vaccination, which had stalled, will speed up again starting tomorrow (26th) in the 50s.

84% of those in their 50s have already made reservations, but some 50s who were originally scheduled to receive the Moderna vaccine were replaced with Pfizer.



The detailed vaccination schedule, reporter Park Soo-jin, will be provided.



<Reporter> There



are 7,347,000 people in their 50s who will start getting vaccinated from tomorrow.



Ages 55 to 59 start getting vaccinated first, and those aged 50 to 54 receive the vaccine from the 16th to 28th of the following month.



86% of those between the ages of 55 and 59 and 82% of those between the ages of 50 and 54 completed their reservations in advance.



You will receive the Moderna or Pfizer vaccine. Those aged 55 to 59 were eligible for the Moderna vaccine at the time of reservation, but as the vaccine supply is delayed, most people in their 50s who are vaccinated in the metropolitan area this week will receive Pfizer.



Since last Friday, quarantine authorities have sent vaccine change texts to the subjects, but there were also reservations who expressed dissatisfaction.




[Subjects in their 50s in the metropolitan area: Delta mutations are also safe on this side, so I held on to the reservation all day to fit moderna, but suddenly… .] The



second vaccination in the 50s is done 4 weeks after the first vaccination.



The quarantine authorities adjusted the Pfizer vaccination interval, which was originally three weeks, to four weeks, the same as that of Moderna.



[Kwon Jun-wook/Second Vice-Director of the Central Quarantine Countermeasures Headquarters (the day before): If the inoculation interval is different for each vaccine, it is difficult to confirm the timing of the second inoculation in advance. Adjusted.)] About



100,000 people aged 60 to 74 who did not receive the vaccine due to reservation delays or changes in the first half of the year will also receive Moderna and Pfizer vaccines starting tomorrow.



Starting the day after tomorrow, about 300,000 people will be vaccinated with the Pfizer vaccine at 43 business sites nationwide with affiliated clinics.



Reservations for vaccinations for those under 40 will start in mid-August, and specific vaccination plans will be announced later this week.
