Yangcheon-gu Obtaining Vaccination Consent from Seniors Aged 75 and Older

Elders Aged 75 and Above, Totaling 26,508, Must Submit Vaccine Consent and Personal Data Usage Agreement by April 6

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Yangcheon-gu (Mayor Kim Soo-young) has begun obtaining consent for COVID-19 vaccination from seniors aged 75 and older (born on or before December 31, 1946) in the district starting from the 23rd.

For safe vaccination, the district will provide vaccinations to seniors who can travel on foot or by vehicle, while those with mobility difficulties or severe underlying conditions will be vaccinated separately at a later date.

The Yangcheon-gu Vaccination Center is scheduled to be set up on the 2nd floor of Haenuri Town (81 Mokdongdong-ro), and the Pfizer vaccine will be used. The second dose will be administered 21 days after the first dose.

Vaccinations will be conducted sequentially by neighborhood starting April 15, and when visiting the vaccination center, it is essential to bring the vaccination pre-screening questionnaire and an ID card.

To secure vaccine quantities, the district plans to register seniors who consent to vaccination as vaccination candidates by collecting the 'Consent Form for Vaccination and Personal Information Use.'

To this end, each neighborhood community service center is delivering the consent form for vaccination and personal information use, the vaccination pre-screening questionnaire, and informational leaflets directly or by mail to seniors aged 75 and older.

Additionally, to respond to adverse reactions following vaccination, monitoring subjects will be selected and monitored for three days. A communication system between neighborhood community service centers and public health centers has been established to quickly transfer patients to emergency medical institutions. Emergency rescue and transport teams are also prepared to thoroughly respond to all situations.

Kim Soo-young, Mayor of Yangcheon-gu, stated, “We will do our best to ensure that vaccinations, which bring us one step closer to ending COVID-19, proceed smoothly,” and added, “We urge seniors wishing to be vaccinated to submit the consent form for vaccination and personal information use to their local community service center by April 6.”
