[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Hapcheon-gun, Gyeongnam announced that starting from the 27th, AstraZeneca vaccine inoculations will begin at 11 designated medical institutions within the county for seniors aged 65 to 74 and patients with chronic severe respiratory diseases.

Currently, Hapcheon-gun has been operating a pre-reservation system since May 6th, and as of the 26th, 5,321 people have made pre-reservations, showing a reservation rate of 68.6%. Additionally, starting June 7th, vaccinations will be administered to approximately 2,600 pre-registered individuals aged 60 to 64, as well as kindergarten, daycare, and elementary school (grades 1-2 teachers) staff.

In particular, from 1 PM on the same day, a “Same-day Reservation Service for Remaining Vaccines” will be implemented, allowing reservations for vaccinations on the day after checking remaining vaccine availability via Naver and Kakao apps. Naver’s ‘Our Neighborhood Vaccine Alert Service’ can be accessed through ▲Naver app ▲Naver Map app ▲Naver mobile web.

Naver users can check the real-time remaining vaccine quantities at nearby medical institutions or register designated medical institutions in advance to receive notifications and make vaccination reservations when remaining vaccines become available. Verification of personal information for vaccination reservations will be conducted safely and conveniently using the Naver certificate.

Kakao users can access the service through the KakaoTalk #tab ‘Remaining Vaccines’. Those wishing to receive a remaining vaccine can select a designated medical institution in the ‘Remaining Vaccines’ tab, press the reservation button, and then proceed through consent for information collection and authentication. This vaccine is limited to AstraZeneca, and those under 30 years old (born after January 1, 1992) cannot apply.

A county official urged, “Pre-registered individuals must visit the medical institution on their reservation date, and pre-reservations are possible until June 3rd via the COVID-19 vaccination website, call center, or town and township community centers. Please hurry to make your reservation.”
