[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Geochang-gun, Gyeongnam Province announced on the 1st that it has conducted a joint inspection of the planned site, the sports complex gymnasium, together with Gyeongnam Province, the responsible police and fire stations, the local defense division (39th Division), Korea Electric Power Corporation, Korea Electrical Safety Corporation, and other related agencies and specialized institutions to open a safe local vaccination center.

The purpose of this joint inspection is to check the overall center installation standards such as center facility equipment, power supply, security, and guard before the opening of the local vaccination center to ensure that the vaccination center can be opened without any setbacks.

In particular, due to the characteristics of the COVID-19 vaccine (Pfizer), which must be stored at an ultra-low temperature of -90 to -60℃, it is especially important to prepare for unexpected operational emergencies by checking the installation status of the ultra-low temperature freezer, uninterruptible power supply in case of sudden power outages, and emergency self-power generation facilities.

Gu In-mo, the mayor of Geochang-gun, said, “We will mobilize all administrative power of the county to accelerate the opening of the vaccination center so that rapid and safe COVID-19 vaccination can be carried out,” and urged, “Until herd immunity is formed through vaccination, it is essential to strictly follow daily quarantine rules such as wearing masks and social distancing.”

Additionally, after completing this joint inspection, the county plans to conduct a simulated training on the 5th that mimics the actual vaccination situation, focusing on pre-preparation for the entire vaccination process including identity verification, medical questionnaire, preliminary examination, vaccination, certificate printing, waiting and monitoring for adverse reactions, and emergency response.
