Suncheon-si, Healing Minds Through Art Exhibition at COVID-19 Vaccination Center

Vaccination Begins in Healing Spaces Like Art Museums

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Suncheon City (Mayor Heo Seok) announced on the 29th that it has transformed the vaccination center into an art gallery for the first time in the nation to promote psychological stability for seniors aged 75 and older receiving the Pfizer vaccine starting next month on the 1st.

The city took advantage of the fact that the Suncheon National University International Culture Convention Center, the vaccination center, was originally an exhibition space, and installed 20 paintings along the vaccination route under the title "Stay...Rest" to provide psychological comfort to vaccine recipients so that seniors can receive their shots with peace of mind. An exhibition is also being held simultaneously.

The city plans to prioritize vaccination for about 1,100 people including day and night care and short-term protection elderly facilities, and then sequentially vaccinate about 3,000 local seniors near the vaccination center according to vaccine supply conditions.

Meanwhile, on the 26th, a simulation drill was completed in preparation for COVID-19 vaccination, considering adverse reaction responses and unexpected situations within the vaccination center.

A city health center official stated, "We have thoroughly prepared the vaccination center environment so that citizens can receive vaccinations safely. We ask citizens to cooperate to ensure smooth vaccination on their scheduled dates with peace of mind."
