17.77 million people between the ages of 18 and 49 who were vaccinated from 1972 to 2003.



[Lee Jung-hyun (20 years old): My parents were all right, and I was the only one who didn't, so my parents are worried. I'm glad it's right now. I want to be hit with anything as soon as possible.]



Advance reservations will be operated on the 9th to 18th of the next month in a 10-part system.



The last digit of the resident registration number is the standard, and people born on the 10th, 20th, or 30th on August 10th, and those born on the 1st, 11th, 21st, or 31st on August 11th can make a reservation.



[Kim Ki-Nam / Head of Vaccination Planning Team, Vaccination Promotion Team: To avoid delays in reservations, we have divided them into 10 groups. It is expected that 1.5 to 1.6 million people a day will participate in the reservation.] The number of



reservations for each institution is equally divided by inoculation date, so whether you make a reservation early or make a reservation later, the vaccination opportunities are the same.



Even if you cannot make a reservation during this period, additional reservations and changes can be made from August 19th to September 17th.



The vaccination period is from the 26th of the following month to the 30th of September.



If you are vaccinated with Pfizer or Moderna, you will be informed of which vaccine you will receive before your vaccination date.



The 2 million people who are selected by local governments as priority inoculations, such as courier drivers and environmental sanitation agencies, will be vaccinated first from the 17th.



Those over the age of 60 who have not yet been vaccinated will receive a booster dose with Pfizer or AstraZeneca vaccines.



The quarantine authorities said that the vaccine will be introduced at 28.6 million doses in August and 42 million doses in September, and that it will not be enough to give the first dose of 36 million people, 70% of the population, by September. .
