[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Dobong-gu (Mayor Dongjin Lee) will operate a ‘shuttle bus for visits and returns’ for residents receiving vaccinations at the Dobong-gu COVID-19 Vaccination Center starting June 17.

The shuttle bus will operate until August, the summer season with a high risk of heatwave damage, circulating five times a day among four major Dobong-gu stations (Ssangmun, Changdong, Dobong, and Dobongsan stations). Anyone with mobility difficulties visiting the vaccination center, such as seniors aged 75 and over and high school seniors preparing for exams, can use the shuttle bus. Bus operation times and routes can be checked on the Dobong-gu Office website.

Residents wishing to use the shuttle bus should wait at the designated bus stops where guide banners are installed at the scheduled times and board the bus. However, when boarding, passengers must have their temperature checked, sanitize their hands, and sit according to the announcements.

Meanwhile, among COVID-19 vaccination recipients, seniors aged 75 and over who have difficulty using the shuttle bus due to mobility issues can use the transportation volunteer service provided by the Personal Taxi Dobong Branch Nanum Punggyeongsori (Chairman Kyunggeun Go). Applications for use can be made at the local community service center in their residential area.

Mayor Dongjin Lee of Dobong-gu said, “We prepared the shuttle bus because elderly and vulnerable people receiving the vaccine and exposed to heat for long periods could suffer health problems such as heatstroke. Since this vehicle is for vaccination, thorough disinfection is conducted before and after operation.” He added, “We will continue to prepare support measures for fast and safe vaccinations, considering additional demand from residents according to future vaccination plans.”
