Gangbuk-gu Supports Free Flu Vaccinations for Long-term Care Workers

Real Cost Support for Quadrivalent Vaccine for Long-term Care Facility Staff Aged 61 and Under in Gangbuk-gu... Applications Accepted for Vaccinations from September 1 to November 10... Claim After Vaccination

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Gangbuk-gu (Mayor Park Kyum-soo) will support free flu vaccinations for long-term care institution workers starting in September.

This project is promoted to guarantee the health rights of Gangbuk-gu long-term care institution workers and to improve the quality of care services by enabling the recipients to provide elderly welfare in a healthy state.

The support target is workers employed at long-term care institutions within Gangbuk-gu who are 61 years old or younger (born after January 1, 1959) and are not eligible for the national free vaccination program.

Eligible individuals will receive reimbursement for the quadrivalent vaccine vaccination cost.

The period is from September 1 to November 10, and those who wish to participate can receive the injection at a related hospital within the period and then submit the documents to their affiliated institution. Afterwards, the claimed costs will be provided by the district office to the affiliated institution, which will transfer the amount to the applicant's account.

There is also a method to use the affiliated institution's contracted hospital. In this case, the institution covers the cost initially for the vaccination, then applies for reimbursement from the district office.

Mayor Park Kyum-soo of Gangbuk-gu said, "As the elderly population increases, the demand for elderly care services is rising, making it increasingly important to ensure the health and safety of service workers. Besides this project, we will explore various policies to protect the rights and interests of care workers."
