[Breaking] AZ Vaccine First Shipment Today from Andong Plant... Delivery to Health Centers Tomorrow, Vaccinations Day After Tomorrow

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Juhyung] The vaccination that will help regain the 'lost daily life' due to the COVID-19 pandemic is just two days away.

The AstraZeneca (AZ) vaccine, which will be the first COVID-19 vaccine in Korea, has completed all preparations and is leaving the factory, passing through logistics centers, and heading to public health centers and nursing hospitals nationwide. This is not a drill but an 'actual situation.'

According to the quarantine authorities on the 24th, the first batch of about 750,000 doses (1.5 million shots) of AstraZeneca vaccine, consigned for production at SK Bioscience in Andong, Gyeongbuk, will be shipped after a shipment report in the morning and moved to the logistics center in Icheon, Gyeonggi.

This quantity is intended for residents under the age of 65 and workers at nursing hospitals, nursing facilities, mental care, and rehabilitation facilities nationwide.
