Goheung-gun Provides Incentives for COVID-19 Vaccination Completers

50% Discount on Major Public Facility Usage Fees and Full Waiver of Health-Related Certificate Issuance Fees

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Goheung-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Song Gwi-geun) announced on the 29th that it will provide incentives for vaccine recipients (including those who received the first dose) such as a 50% discount on the use fees of major public facilities and a full waiver of fees for issuing health-related certificates to promote participation in COVID-19 vaccination and support the return to daily life.

According to the county, the vaccination incentives will be implemented from the 1st of next month when the first dose vaccination for high-risk groups such as those aged 60 and over is completed, and the period will be applied until the end of the year.

The facilities eligible for incentives include Goheung Space Launch Observatory, Space Astronomy Science Museum, Siho Island Primitive Experience Island, National Sports Center, Buncheong Culture Museum, Gapjae Folk Exhibition Hall, and the family literature museums of Jo Jong-hyun, Jo Jeong-rae, and Kim Cho-hye, all operated by Goheung-gun. Visitors can use these facilities at a 50% discounted price by presenting a vaccination certificate at the ticket office. Additionally, Paryeongsan Hinoki Healing Forest and the Youth Culture House can be used free of charge.

Furthermore, a full waiver of fees will be applied when issuing seven types of health-related certificates such as tuberculosis certificates and health checkup certificates at the county health center.

However, the full waiver of fees for health institution certificates applies only to Goheung residents.

A county official stated, “From next month, COVID-19 vaccination will be implemented for residents aged 18 and over. To improve the vaccination rate, the county is providing its own incentives, and many benefits such as exemption from self-quarantine and exclusion from private gathering limits will be given to those who complete vaccination. We ask for active participation in vaccination.”

It is expected that this incentive provision will further accelerate vaccination, form early herd immunity, and greatly benefit the local economy.
