[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Park Seong-su, Mayor of Songpa District, will receive a COVID-19 vaccine at 10 a.m. on the 8th at the Songpa District Public Health Center.

The vaccine that Mayor Park will receive is AstraZeneca (AZ), according to Songpa District.

Earlier, the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency’s ‘COVID-19 Vaccination Response Promotion Team’ announced on the 3rd through a separate guideline that members of disaster response headquarters conducting local infectious disease response are allowed priority vaccination for residents’ safety.

Accordingly, Mayor Park will receive the vaccine in his capacity as the head of the Songpa District Disaster Response Headquarters (Songpa-gu Jae-dae-bon). When Mayor Park receives the vaccine on the 8th, he will become the first vaccinated person among Songpa District’s field response personnel.

Mayor Park emphasized, “As vaccination is in full swing, there have been some reports of suspected adverse reactions after vaccination, but I believe there is no need to be excessively anxious. To firmly escape the risk of COVID-19 infection, I have decided to participate in vaccination first. I urge everyone to trust the quarantine authorities and actively participate according to the vaccination schedule.”

Currently, Mayor Park is overseeing and directing the operation of screening clinics, residential treatment centers, and vaccination centers, working on the front lines of COVID-19 response.
