Yuseong Hoon, Mayor of Geumcheon District

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Geumcheon-gu (Mayor Yuseong Hoon) is providing influenza (flu) vaccination costs to residents aged 50 to 61 to prevent confusion in the quarantine system due to the simultaneous outbreak of COVID-19 and flu as the flu season approaches.

Residents aged 50 to 61 are a priority group recommended for vaccination because they often have high-risk chronic diseases that can lead to influenza complications, but their vaccination rate is low.

Accordingly, the district has signed an agreement with the Geumcheon-gu Medical Association to allow residents aged 50 to 61 to receive vaccinations at 115 designated entrusted medical institutions within Geumcheon-gu, and will support vaccination costs of 10,000 KRW.

Eligible individuals must bring an ID and a resident registration certificate issued within the last 3 days verifying their Geumcheon-gu residency. From September 22 to December 15, they can visit designated medical institutions to receive the vaccination and will be supported with 10,000 KRW vaccination costs without additional application documents.

Those who have already been vaccinated before the program started can receive retroactive support at the Geumcheon-gu Public Health Center.

The list of designated medical institutions and vaccination schedules can be found on the Geumcheon-gu Public Health Center website under ‘News’. For more details, inquiries can be made to the Health Promotion Division of the district office.
