On the first day of the first day of pre-registration for the Corona 19 vaccine for 16-17 year-olds, first and second year high school students, it was counted that more than 20% of those who were vaccinated completed their reservations.



According to the Corona 19 Vaccination Response Promotion Team on the 6th, 186,855 (20.8%) of the 89,784 people aged 16-17 (born between 2004 and 2005) made reservations as of 0:00 on the 6th. I did.




Reservations for ages 16-17 started at 8 pm last night, which means that 1 out of 5 vaccinated people participated in 4 hours.



Reservations for ages 16-17 will be held for 4 weeks until 6pm on the 29th.



Those aged 16-17 who have made an appointment will be vaccinated with Pfizer vaccine at consigned medical institutions nationwide from the 18th.



However, in the case of 16-17 years of age, the time for vaccination varies slightly depending on the reservation period.



Those who made a reservation by the 9th can get vaccinated from the 18th, and those who made a reservation for the 10th to 14th can get vaccinated from the 25th.



In addition, those who made a reservation on the 15th to 21st will start on the 1st of the next month, and those who made a reservation on the 22nd and 29th will start on the 8th of the next month.



The 16-17 year old vaccinations are completed once on the 13th of the following month.



The promotion team said, "Reservations close by week, so 16-17 year-olds who have made a reservation in advance according to the wishes of themselves and their guardians can get vaccinated at an earlier date and time if they join the reservation earlier."



The promotion group recommends that healthy adolescents receive the vaccination according to the wishes of themselves and their guardians, and even if they do not get vaccinated, the school will not be disadvantaged.



However, the promotion team urged youths with underlying diseases to get vaccinated, citing that the risk of developing severe cases of COVID-19 infection is twice that of healthy adolescents.



Meanwhile, access to the vaccination reservation website (https://ncvr.kdca.go.kr) is smooth from the day before, the first day when 16-17 years old vaccination reservations and booster shot reservations were made.
