Joint Simulation Drill of Vaccine-Related Agencies at the COVID-19 Vaccination Center Set Up in Changdong Culture and Sports Center on the 2nd

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Dobong-gu (Mayor Lee Dong-jin) will conduct a simulated vaccine inoculation drill on April 2 at the Dobong-gu COVID-19 Vaccination Center, assuming an actual situation, following the opening of the Dobong-gu COVID-19 Vaccination Center on April 15.

The district has prepared a 990m² vaccination center on the 2nd floor indoor gymnasium of Changdong Culture and Sports Center to carry out vaccinations for general residents. Starting April 15, full-scale vaccinations for seniors aged 75 and older (born on or before December 31, 1946) will begin at this location.

The Dobong-gu COVID-19 Vaccination Center can vaccinate up to approximately 600 people per day on average. The vaccination process proceeds in the order of ▲temperature check ▲pre-registration confirmation ▲waiting ▲medical questionnaire completion ▲reception ▲medical examination ▲vaccination ▲observation room ▲return home.

The center is equipped with all necessary facilities for vaccination, including an ultra-low temperature freezer, medical examination booths, vaccination rooms, and post-vaccination rest areas.

The joint simulation drill on April 2 is the final simulation that inspects all procedures assuming actual situations, following a joint pre-inspection with related organizations on March 31.

The training process will proceed in the order of ▲vaccine receipt and thawing ▲vaccine dilution and dispensing ▲reception ▲medical examination and vaccination ▲observation. It has been prepared comprehensively considering all possible variables, including treatment for anaphylactic reactions after vaccination.

On the day, the district plans to carefully supplement any shortcomings through listening to evaluation opinions from each evaluator, Q&A sessions, and comprehensive discussions, and to check the final operational matters before opening based on the simulation results.

Meanwhile, Dobong-gu completed vaccinations for 3,097 people, including medical institution workers treating COVID-19 patients and first responders, in the first quarter of 2021. In the second quarter, it plans to administer the first dose of the Pfizer vaccine to about 26,000 seniors aged 75 and older. Currently, the district is focusing on confirming the vaccination intentions of seniors aged 75 and older and registering them in the integrated vaccination management system by early April.

Mayor Lee Dong-jin of Dobong-gu said, “The top priority in all these drills is solely the safety of our residents. We will review the inspection results and prepare to operate the COVID-19 Vaccination Center without any setbacks.” He also repeatedly urged, “We ask all residents to comply with infection prevention rules and actively participate in vaccination.”
