Songpa-gu 'COVID-19 Vaccination Center and Call Center' Fully Operational

Starting April, Sequential Vaccinations for 75+ at Songpa Sports and Culture Center Vaccination Center... COVID-19 Call Center Operation, Pre-Education, and Simulation Training for Thorough Vaccine Preparation

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Songpa-gu (Mayor Park Seong-su) will begin COVID-19 vaccinations for seniors aged 75 and older at the COVID-19 vaccination center installed in Songpa Sports and Culture Center starting April 1.

Songpa-gu's first vaccination center is set up on the 2nd floor gymnasium of Songpa Sports and Culture Center (15 Yangsan-ro, Songpa-gu) and will operate from April until the completion of vaccinations.

The vaccination hours are from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM.

The operating staff consists of 4 doctors, 8 nurses, and about 20 administrative personnel, with a maximum daily vaccination capacity of approximately 600 people.

Starting April 1, seniors aged 75 and older (born on or before December 31, 1946) who have completed pre-registration will be given priority for vaccination. Pre-registration can be done by visiting the local community center in person or by submitting a ‘Vaccine Consent and Personal Information Usage Agreement’ when visited by a community leader.

Additionally, beginning with seniors aged 75 and older, vaccinations are expected to expand to the general adult population in the third quarter depending on vaccine supply. To prepare for this, a second vaccination center will be established and operated in July at Songpa Community Center (242 Baekjegobun-ro, Songpa-gu).

Meanwhile, the district is making thorough preparations for COVID-19 vaccination. For stable vaccine management, an ultra-low temperature freezer has been installed, along with an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) and communication equipment to prepare for sudden power outages.

Furthermore, on the 19th of this month, a joint inspection of the vaccination center was conducted with the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, the Fire Agency, and the Police Agency. On the 25th, a full-scale simulation covering pre-screening, vaccination, and adverse reaction monitoring was carried out to ensure rapid and safe vaccination readiness.

In addition, a COVID-19 vaccination call center will begin operation on March 29. It will provide detailed information about vaccination eligibility, schedule, and locations, as well as precautions before and after vaccination and general inquiries related to COVID-19.

The operating hours are weekdays from 9 AM to 6 PM.

Songpa-gu Mayor Park Seong-su stated, “We have made thorough preparations, including establishing a rapid response system so that residents can receive COVID-19 vaccinations with peace of mind,” and added, “We will do our best to ensure that residents complete vaccinations safely and regain happiness in their daily lives.”
