Hospitals and clinics that only vaccinate Moderna are an exception.



100,000 people between the ages of 60 and 74 who have changed or canceled reservations will also receive the vaccine starting today, but it has changed from Moderna to Pfizer's parallel vaccination.



Businesses with affiliated clinics will receive the vaccine tomorrow, education and care workers will start the day after tomorrow, and high school students other than high school students will be vaccinated on the 10th of next month.



Meanwhile, for the first time, the government recognized the causality of vaccines and cases of deaths due to myocarditis after vaccination.
