The county has completed the first dose for all 9 towns and townships among 6,581 seniors who agreed to vaccination out of 7,699 seniors aged 75 and older in the area. Except for Mongtan and Cheonggye, 4,863 people in 7 towns and townships have completed the second dose, and the plan is to complete both the first and second doses by the 24th.
Considering that many of the elderly targeted for vaccination have mobility difficulties and live alone, the county is making every effort to provide administrative convenience to ensure that seniors can receive vaccinations safely and conveniently, including group bus transportation support under quarantine guidelines, name tag production and wearing guidance, and pre-vaccination management through escorts.
Even after vaccination, the county is thoroughly conducting post-monitoring by linking with the staff in charge of the Euddeum Village to observe any adverse reactions daily and promptly report to the health center and each town and township office.
