[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] On the 17th, Ryoo Kyung-gi, Mayor of Jungnang-gu, pinned a vaccination badge on an elderly person who completed their COVID-19 vaccination at the Jungnang-gu COVID-19 Vaccination Center (Jungnang Cultural and Sports Center).

Starting from this day, the district will distribute vaccination badges to residents who have completed their second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. Although the badge does not serve as direct proof of vaccination, it is expected to encourage unvaccinated individuals to participate in vaccination and support the daily life recovery of those who have completed vaccination.

The badges will be distributed at vaccination centers to those who complete their vaccination from the 17th onward. For those who had already completed vaccination as of the 16th, distribution will gradually begin in July. In this case, residents aged 75 and older can receive the badge at their local community center, while those aged 74 and younger can receive it at the vaccination center where they completed their vaccination.

Ryoo Kyung-gi, Mayor of Jungnang-gu, said, “We expect that the distribution of badges will encourage more residents to participate in vaccination, leading to the rapid formation of herd immunity,” and added, “The district will overcome COVID-19 together with residents through thorough quarantine measures and swift vaccination.”
