[Hampyeong=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Hampyeong County, Jeonnam announced on the 18th that it is operating the ‘Integrated Volunteer Support Group for Vaccination’ to ensure smooth vaccination at the COVID-19 vaccination center.

The Integrated Volunteer Support Group is a volunteer activity organization established and operated when large-scale volunteer activities are required due to disasters.

Since May, the county has been supporting various tasks through the Integrated Volunteer Support Group for Vaccination, including maintaining order for residents visiting the vaccination center, guiding vaccination routes, assisting mobility-impaired individuals, and monitoring after vaccination.

So far, 96 volunteers from four organizations including Hampyeong County Women’s Volunteer Association, Hampyeong County Red Cross Volunteer Association, Hampyeong County Saemaeul Women’s Association, and Cosmos Association have participated, and on-site support will continue until the vaccination center ceases operation.

County Governor Lee Sang-ik said, “Thanks to the activities of the Integrated Volunteer Support Group, safe and smooth vaccination has been possible at the vaccination site,” and added, “We will do our best to ensure that residents can be safe from the risks of COVID-19 as soon as possible.”
