[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education Superintendent Cho Hee-yeon will receive the AstraZeneca (AZ) vaccine at the Guro-gu Public Health Center at 5 p.m. on the 4th.

Superintendent Cho said, "As a prerequisite for full in-person classes in the second semester, vaccination of all school staff must be completed by the summer vacation," adding, "The government and quarantine authorities should actively consider ensuring that schools become safe zones protecting the health of students and staff by completing vaccination of all school staff before the second semester begins."

He continued, "Vaccination of all school staff is the first step to protecting not only the health of students but also the entire educational community. I urge all members of the Seoul education family to actively participate in vaccination."
