[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Guro-gu (Mayor Lee Seong) conducted a joint vaccine inoculation drill at the COVID-19 vaccination center located at Guro-gu Community Center (Gamasan-ro 25-gil 21) on the 2nd.

On the 5th, Guro-gu announced, "Ahead of the full-scale operation of the vaccination center on the 15th, we conducted a simulation drill to thoroughly prepare for all processes from vaccine preparation to inoculation and unexpected adverse reactions."

Before the drill, Mayor Lee Seong said, "We have thoroughly prepared everything from vaccine storage to facilities and manpower support to ensure safe vaccination for residents," and expressed gratitude to the officials who worked hard for the smooth operation of this inoculation drill and the vaccination center.

The drill, which started at 9 a.m., involved about 60 participants including the Guro-gu Public Health Center, medical staff, military, police, fire personnel, and 30 simulated vaccine recipients, and lasted for two hours.

The training proceeded in the order of Pfizer vaccine storage and management, waiting for entry, identity verification, filling out the preliminary examination form, medical examination, vaccination, vaccination registration and receipt of confirmation, post-vaccination observation, and returning home after observation.

Additionally, responses to emergencies such as adverse reaction patients and urgent hospital transfers were checked, along with power management of refrigeration facilities considering the characteristics of the Pfizer vaccine, which must be stored at around -75°C, and measures to take in case of power outages.

After observing the drill, an evaluation committee composed of Seoul city officials, private experts, and officials from other districts conducted a general review of improvements and supplementary measures.

Meanwhile, Guro-gu completed the first dose vaccination for 6,595 AstraZeneca vaccine recipients in the first quarter from February 26 to April 2, and plans to sequentially vaccinate about 200,000 people starting from the 15th, beginning with seniors aged 75 and older, residents and workers of elderly facilities, and then the general local residents.

A Guro-gu official stated, "As a result of thorough prior preparation for vaccination, the simulation drill proceeded smoothly," and added, "We will do our best to supplement any shortcomings before the actual operation on the 15th so that residents can receive vaccinations with peace of mind."
