[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] The People Power Party criticized the government's announcement on the status of vaccine procurement as "disappointment itself" and raised their voices saying, "Vaccinations must be carried out as soon as possible."

Yoon Hee-seok, spokesperson for the People Power Party, said in a statement on the 19th, "Prove the reason for the government's existence."

Spokesperson Yoon pointed out, "The people can only trust vaccines, but the 'COVID-19 Vaccine Procurement Status and Vaccination Plan' announced by the government yesterday is nothing but disappointment," adding, "It was merely a rehash of the announcement from ten days ago and failed to clearly state when vaccinations can begin."

He criticized, "Are we supposed to just wait indefinitely, trusting only the verbal promise from vaccine company executives that 'supply can be available around February or March next year'?" and called it "the result of complacency that leisurely cited 'safety'."

Spokesperson Yoon emphasized, "It is astonishing how foreign governments participate in vaccine development, secure supplies, and immediately vaccinate their own citizens," and added, "We must engage more actively. Vaccines must be administered to our people as soon as possible."
