[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Gwangjin-gu (Mayor Kim Seon-gap) will begin full-scale COVID-19 vaccination starting on the 26th.

On the morning of the 25th at 10 a.m., the vaccines arrived in Gwangjin-gu and were directly delivered in refrigerated vehicles maintaining the cold chain according to verified delivery procedures. With the cooperation of the military and police, the vaccines were safely delivered to the Gwangjin-gu Public Health Center and nursing hospitals capable of on-site vaccination.

The arrived vaccines are viral vector vaccines (AstraZeneca) and are stored in refrigerators maintaining 2~8℃ according to management standards. These refrigerators are equipped with an automatic system that sounds an alarm if the temperature deviates.

The district, in cooperation with the police, plans to conduct 24-hour patrols to prevent any issues caused by storage errors, frequently checking the power status and temperature maintenance of the refrigerators to minimize vaccine disposal and incorrect vaccinations.

This vaccination will begin on the 26th targeting 6,000 nursing hospital and nursing facility workers and inpatients aged 18 to under 65 in the first quarter, and will gradually expand to all residents except pregnant women and children and adolescents under 18.

The vaccination methods include on-site vaccination at the public health center, visiting vaccinations where medical staff visit nursing facilities, and self-administered vaccinations conducted directly at nursing hospitals.
