The COVID-19 Vaccination Local Council is composed of 13 members from 11 related organizations within the county, chaired by the governor, and will establish various cooperation systems including consultation and support for adverse reactions to vaccinations, emergency transport and treatment of patients.

Additionally, on the 19th, the county launched the "Vaccination Implementation Promotion Team," led by the vice governor, to support COVID-19 vaccination tasks. The team is organized into the Implementation General Team, Vaccine Supply Team, Vaccination Institution Operation Team, Media Response Team, Target Management Team, Traffic Order Management Team, Adverse Reaction Management Team, and Support and Situation Response Team to ensure thorough preparation for rapid and precise vaccination once vaccine supply is secured.

COVID-19 vaccinations will be promoted from next month through November. The vaccination target population aged 19 and older is 70,068 residents, with the county aiming to vaccinate 49,048 people, which is 70% of the target.

The vaccination order by target group is as follows: in the first quarter, residents and workers of nursing hospitals and nursing facilities, first responders, residents and workers of psychiatric rehabilitation facilities; in the second quarter, elderly home welfare users and workers, medical institution and pharmacy workers, disabled persons, residents and workers of homeless shelters; in the third quarter, adults with chronic diseases, adults aged 50?60, military personnel, police, firefighters, social infrastructure workers, education and childcare facility workers, adults aged 19?49; and in the fourth quarter, second-dose recipients and unvaccinated individuals. This schedule may change depending on vaccine supply conditions.

The COVID-19 Vaccination Centers will operate from July to November at two locations: Muan Comprehensive Sports Park and Namak Multipurpose Sports Hall, targeting adults aged 19?64, essential personnel such as firefighters and police, and education and childcare facility workers.

A county official stated, “We will make every effort to prepare flawless vaccination measures, including the establishment of vaccination centers, by actively utilizing the local council and implementation promotion team for continuous consultation so that residents can receive COVID-19 vaccines safely and with peace of mind.”
