[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Oh Hwan-joo] Muan County, Jeollanam-do (Governor Kim San) announced on the 6th that it conducted a Pfizer vaccine (mRNA) inoculation simulation training targeting seniors aged 75 and older at the Muan Sports Park Indoor Gymnasium on the 5th, ahead of the opening of the vaccination center.

This training was a preliminary exercise for safe vaccination ahead of the opening of the Muan County Vaccination Center on the 15th. About 100 people participated, including Kim San, Governor of Muan County, inspection teams from Jeollanam-do Provincial Office, Muan Police Station, Muan Fire Station, military units, and city and county officials. The training simulated actual vaccination situations, including vaccine preparation demonstrations, inoculation simulation training, and adverse reaction response drills.

Based on the results of this training, Pfizer vaccine inoculations will be administered from the 15th to seniors aged 75 and older, as well as residents and workers of elderly care facilities.

The approximately two-hour simulation training evaluated the suitability of various areas such as vaccination time requirements, personnel allocation according to movement routes, system and power failure responses, and handling of individuals with adverse reactions. The evaluation results were deemed suitable.

Additionally, on the 2nd, prior to the simulation training, a joint inspection was conducted with the Jeollanam-do inspection team and six sectors including the Army 8332 Unit, Muan Police Station, Muan Fire Station, Korea Electric Power Corporation, and the Electrical Safety Corporation.

The inspection covered compliance with vaccination center installation standards, ultra-low temperature refrigerators and self-power generation facilities, electrical equipment, power supply lines, distribution lines, emergency power, emergency transport systems for patients with adverse reactions, and security measures for contingencies. The results confirmed safety suitability.

Governor Kim San stated, “We are thoroughly preparing so that residents can receive vaccinations with peace of mind,” and added, “We ask seniors aged 75 and older to actively participate in vaccination to regain a healthy and vibrant daily life free from COVID-19 concerns.”
