Imsil-gun Distributes 'Safe Stickers' to Fully Vaccinated Individuals

[Imsil=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters] Reporter Park Nosik=Jeonbuk Imsil-gun is distributing vaccination reassurance stickers to elderly residents who have completed COVID-19 vaccinations.

According to the county on the 28th, it was reported that 48.3% (11,926 people), nearly half of the total population, have been vaccinated as of today.

The county is distributing vaccination reassurance stickers to elderly people aged 60 or older who have difficulty using the COVID-19 vaccination electronic certificate app (COOV) or paper certificates among these residents.

The stickers will be distributed from next month to those who have received the first dose or completed the COVID-19 vaccination and can be attached to mobile phones or resident registration cards.

The county expects that the distribution of reassurance stickers will provide residents with a sense of security regarding COVID-19, encourage vaccination, and greatly help in forming herd immunity in the local community.

The vaccination reassurance stickers were created to encourage and honor vaccine recipients and cannot be used as direct proof of vaccination; however, they are expected to be used as indirect proof when the outdoor mask mandate is lifted starting next month.

The county has established and is operating the ‘COVID-19 Vaccination Integrated Volunteer Support Group’ to resolve manpower shortages at the COVID-19 vaccination center and support systematic volunteer activities.

These volunteers assist with temperature checks of vaccine recipients, guide them to vaccination booths, and support the mobility of those with difficulties, receiving positive responses.

County Governor Shim Min said, “I hope residents actively participate in vaccination so that they can return to a healthy and vibrant daily life,” and added, “The vaccination reassurance sticker is an indirect means to show participation in vaccination and is expected to increase vaccination rates and contribute to the rapid formation of herd immunity.”
