Why is Elder Kim Geumcheon Happy After Receiving the Vaccination Certificate?

Geumcheon-gu Issues Portable Vaccination Certificates for Seniors Aged 75 and Over... Intensive Promotion Using All Means to Increase Vaccination Rates

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Geumcheon-gu (Mayor Yuseong Hoon) will issue a 'Portable Vaccination Certificate' starting from the 11th to seniors aged 75 and older who have completed the second COVID-19 vaccination.

The 'Portable Vaccination Certificate' is made of plastic the size of an ID card, making it easy to carry in a wallet.

The portable vaccination certificate will include personal information such as name, date of birth, and address, as well as information about the vaccine type, vaccination date, and vaccination institution.

The district believes that seniors carrying the certificate in their wallets and presenting it when entering various facilities or institutions will feel psychological reassurance and that showing it to acquaintances will also help improve vaccination rates.

Meanwhile, the district is intensively promoting the reservation period, vaccination start date, and reservation methods for COVID-19 vaccination targets aged 60 to under 75, who are eligible for vaccination at entrusted medical institutions, through the district website, SNS channels, safety notification texts, and local media.

In addition, one-on-one phone calls and text messages are sent to those who have not made reservations, and vaccination reservations and guidance are provided during welfare checks using the Tongtong Hope Naraedan. Vaccination is also encouraged through senior facilities and institutions, residents' autonomous associations, and professional organizations.

Geumcheon-gu Mayor Yuseong Hoon stated, "Although group infections recently occurred in nursing hospitals and among family members in the community, those who received the vaccine were not infected, proving the effectiveness of vaccination," and added, "We hope all residents actively participate in vaccination according to the schedule for each target group for the recovery of daily life and the safety of all."
