[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] Yangsan City in Gyeongnam announced on the 12th that it is making every effort to establish a vaccination center to ensure there are no disruptions in the COVID-19 vaccination rollout scheduled for early April, according to the vaccine supply plan.

With 1 million doses of the Pfizer vaccine expected to be introduced at the end of March and 6 million doses from April to June, and as the vaccination target expands from specific facilities such as nursing hospitals, care facilities, and hospitals to the general population, the city will advance the opening of a center specialized in administering the Pfizer vaccine by three months from the originally planned July opening.

The city has determined that the indoor gymnasium of the comprehensive stadium is the optimal facility and is making thorough preparations, including a joint inspection conducted on the 11th by six organizations such as the military, police, fire department, and Korea Electric Power Corporation.

Mayor Kim Il-kwon stated, “Due to the ultra-low temperature storage requirements of the Pfizer vaccine, we will preemptively inspect all potential issues that may arise on site, such as freezer storage locations and natural ventilation facilities within the facility, to manage every step of the vaccination process without any negligence.”
