[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Jung Won-oh, Mayor of Seongdong-gu, visited ‘Yonsei ENT Clinic’ located in Haengdang-dong on the afternoon of the 14th, conducted an on-site inspection of the preliminary examination room and injection room, encouraged the medical staff, and requested them to administer the vaccines safely.

Since the pre-registration rate for AstraZeneca vaccine inoculation for seniors aged 70 to 74, which began on the 6th, exceeded 60% in less than ten days (as of May 14), the district plans to thoroughly inspect the entrusted medical institutions to ensure the safety of residents.

Additionally, the district announced that from the 10th, reservations have been accepted for seniors aged 65 to 69, and from the 13th, for those aged 60 to 64.

Prior to this, since April, the district has been operating the ‘Seoul City’s No. 1 Vaccination Center,’ the standard vaccination center for all autonomous districts in Seoul, on the 3rd floor of Seongdong-gu Office. It runs a total of five shuttle buses to support seniors’ visits for vaccination. So far, a total of 27,559 people have completed COVID-19 vaccination at the Seongdong-gu Vaccination Center, the district health center, and entrusted medical institutions.

Jung Won-oh, Mayor of Seongdong-gu, said, “We are doing our best to prepare so that residents who have waited a long time for vaccination can receive it safely,” and added, “Since this is the first step to regaining everyone’s daily life, we ask for active participation in vaccination.”
