[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Gwangjin-gu (Mayor Kim Seon-gap) is promoting COVID-19 AstraZeneca (AZ) vaccination for residents aged 60 to 74 starting this month.

The district has been conducting advance reservations for residents aged 70 to 74 since the 6th, and for those aged 65 to 69 since the 10th, and will begin advance reservations for residents aged 60 to 64 starting on the 13th.

Prior to this, on the 10th, Gwangjin-gu Mayor Kim Seon-gap produced a video message informing residents about the vaccination targets and schedule to encourage participation in the vaccination program.

The video can be viewed on the Gwangjin-gu official website and the official YouTube channel.

Mayor Kim Seon-gap said, “Starting this month, advance reservations and vaccinations for residents aged 60 to 74 will begin. The more people get vaccinated, the fewer infections there will be. I hope everyone participates in vaccination so that Gwangjin-gu can become a safe area free from COVID-19 through herd immunity.”
