Operation of Mobile Screening Clinics for Rapid Testing in Case of Mass Infection Concerns at Multi-Use Facilities... Promoting Mobile Vaccination at Nursing and Disability Facilities to Improve Vaccine Accessibility

[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] Gwangjin-gu (District Mayor Kim Seon-gap) is operating the ‘Gwangjin-gu Mobile Screening Clinic and Vaccination’ to prevent the spread of infection and for prevention, following recent sporadic cluster infections.

The ‘Gwangjin-gu Mobile Screening Clinic and Vaccination’ is a medical service that directly visits locations requiring screening tests and vaccinations.

The ‘Mobile Screening Clinic’ operates when confirmed cases occur in multi-use facilities (schools, daycare centers, etc.) and nursing facilities, where there is concern about cluster infections.

The district promotes this to detect confirmed cases early through rapid on-site testing and prevent the spread of infection.

The ‘Mobile Vaccination’ is conducted for nursing facilities, facilities for the disabled, elderly group homes, and other cases where mobility is difficult, on-site vaccination is challenging, or other field vaccination visits are necessary.

Through this, the district aims to improve accessibility to vaccination and lead infection prevention and herd immunity formation through early vaccination.

Kim Seon-gap, Mayor of Gwangjin-gu, said, “We have started operating the ‘Mobile Screening Clinic and Vaccination’ to enable rapid COVID-19 proactive testing and vaccine prevention through on-site visits in cluster infection sites and densely populated areas of vulnerable groups such as the elderly, disabled, and children.” He added, “We hope that providing mobile medical services will increase residents’ satisfaction.”

Along with this, the district introduced mobile (QR) registration to reduce waiting times at screening clinics and minimize errors in manually filling out questionnaires.

Accordingly, visitors to the screening clinics can conveniently fill out the questionnaire on their mobile devices using a QR code.
