[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Hamyang-gun, Gyeongnam conducted a simulation drill on the 6th at the vaccination center in preparation for vaccinating elderly people aged 75 and over.

This simulation drill involved reviewing the entire process from vaccination registration to monitoring adverse reactions before the actual vaccination, with about 60 participants including related public officials, fire station, and police station personnel to prepare for emergencies such as anaphylactic reactions.

The drill proceeded as if it were real, covering situations that may occur during actual vaccination: verifying vaccine recipients → medical questionnaire → preliminary examination → vaccination → observation of adverse reactions → emergency response → exit.

In particular, assuming unexpected situations that may occur during vaccination, the process from calling the rapid response team to emergency treatment and patient transfer was checked to thoroughly prepare for any emergencies.

Additionally, on the 1st, prior to the simulation drill, a joint inspection was conducted with the provincial inspection team and six sectors including the Army Headquarters, Hamyang Police Station, Hamyang Fire Station, Korea Electric Power Corporation, and Electrical Safety Corporation.

The inspection confirmed compliance with vaccination center installation standards, ultra-low temperature refrigerators, self-power generation facilities, electrical equipment, power supply lines, distribution lines, emergency power, emergency patient transfer system for adverse reactions, and security for unexpected situations, resulting in a safety suitability evaluation.

The county plans to open the vaccination center on the 15th and administer vaccinations to about 7,000 people including elderly citizens aged 75 and over and residents of elderly facilities.

A health center official said, “We will prepare thoroughly without neglect for COVID-19 vaccination to ensure safe vaccinations at the vaccination center opening,” and added, “We hope many will participate in the vaccination to form herd immunity.”
