[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Regarding the government's decision to postpone vaccination for AstraZeneca vaccine recipients under the age of 60 starting from the 8th, Oh Gyu-seok, the mayor of Busan Gijang-gun, argued that vaccination for all citizens aged 60 and above should also be suspended until safety is ensured.


Mayor Oh said, "I actively welcome the government's decision to temporarily suspend vaccination for AstraZeneca vaccine recipients under the age of 60," and "Since the entire nation currently has significant concerns about the AstraZeneca vaccine, I urge the government to suspend vaccination for all citizens until the vaccine's safety is confirmed."



Mayor Oh emphasized, "Just as there is no value more important than the safety and lives of the people, ensuring the safety of AstraZeneca vaccine administration must come first."
