<Reporter> About



5,774,400 people have never been vaccinated yet.



11.2% of the registered resident population.



These are the elderly who have been delaying vaccination due to mobility difficulties, those who repeatedly cancel their vaccination reservation for personal reasons, and those who are reluctant to receive the vaccine due to side effects.



[Non-vaccinated / 40s: I work from home and don't meet people often, so I don't feel the need to get hit.]



Of these, 1.12 million are senior citizens over 60 who are at high risk of Corona.



Quarantine authorities are taking reservations for vaccinations from those who have not been vaccinated until the 30th, but the reservation rate is only 1.6%.



[Non-vaccinated / 60s: They say that the effect of the vaccine is not long and I am worried about side effects… .] The



government plans to encourage vaccination as much as possible before the start of vaccination on the 1st of the next month.



[Hong Jung-ik / Corona 19 Vaccination Management Team Leader: We will do our best to provide more accurate guidance and communication so that those who want to be vaccinated can get vaccinated… .] The



quarantine authorities, however, said they are not considering mandatory vaccination.



On the other hand, we decided to expand the vaccination incentives a little more.



Starting tomorrow (24th), those who have completed the vaccination do not need to self-quarantine if they do not have symptoms even if they have had close contact with a confirmed person.



Instead, you need to monitor your body for two weeks and undergo two PCR tests.
