[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Eunpyeong-gu (Mayor Kim Mi-kyung) has formed a COVID-19 vaccination implementation task force and is accelerating preparations for full-scale vaccination.

The COVID-19 vaccination implementation task force is composed of 4 divisions and 9 teams, directly carrying out the core tasks of COVID-19 vaccination.

The vaccination division oversees the overall management of COVID-19 vaccination plans, implementation, and vaccination status, while the vaccination center operations division is responsible for operating the vaccination centers.

Additionally, the administrative support division handles staffing and establishment of vaccination centers, and the public relations and communication division is in charge of promoting COVID-19 vaccination.

Moreover, Eunpyeong-gu has formed a regional consultative body chaired by the deputy mayor, consisting of local experts. Through continuous communication with the regional consultative body composed of the Eunpyeong-gu Medical Association, Nursing Association, hospitals, fire stations, and police stations, they plan to fully mobilize a public-private cooperation system including establishing an emergency medical network and supporting medical personnel.

COVID-19 vaccination will be conducted for all residents aged 18 and over, with general residents scheduled to be vaccinated after July according to the vaccination order.

In the first quarter, priority vaccination will be given to inpatients, residents, and workers of nursing hospitals and nursing facilities under 65 years old.

Also, medical staff treating COVID-19 patients, first responders to COVID-19, and workers at high-risk medical institutions (healthcare workers) are included in the first quarter vaccination targets.

In particular, for nursing facilities where visiting medical institutions is difficult, the public health center will form a visiting vaccination team to provide on-site COVID-19 vaccination services.

In the second quarter, vaccinations will be conducted targeting vulnerable facilities such as facilities for the disabled and homeless residents. Vaccination of healthcare workers working in medical institutions and seniors aged 65 and over is also scheduled for the second quarter.

From the third quarter onward, vaccination will begin for adults with chronic diseases and adults aged 50 to 64, gradually expanding to all adults aged 18 and over.

Vaccinations will be administered at entrusted medical institutions and local vaccination centers, and detailed information about vaccination locations and schedules will be provided via text messages.

Meanwhile, on February 17, Eunpyeong-gu formed the COVID-19 vaccination task force and held an inauguration ceremony to ensure smooth vaccine vaccination, entering a full-scale vaccine support system.

Mayor Kim Mi-kyung said, “Forming herd immunity is most important to overcome COVID-19,” and added, “We will mobilize all our capabilities to ensure that residents can receive vaccinations without inconvenience.”
