[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Geochang-gun, Gyeongnam Province, plans to administer COVID-19 vaccinations to approximately 280 individuals, including daycare centers, kindergartens, first and second grade elementary school staff, and childcare workers, at the vaccination center on the mornings of the 14th and 15th.

This vaccination prioritizes occupations with a high risk of transmission. Advance reservations will be accepted from 0:00 on July 8th until 18:00 on July 10th, and eligible individuals will be notified individually via text message.

For those who have not completed vaccination among this group, as well as other education and childcare workers (teachers from third grade elementary to middle school, child facility staff, etc.), advance reservations will be accepted for three days from the 14th to the 17th, and vaccinations will be conducted with the Pfizer vaccine at designated medical institutions over 11 days from the 28th to August 7th.

Additionally, the county plans to provide vaccinations to active-duty soldiers and non-commissioned officer candidates scheduled to enlist from July to September, starting from the 12th until the end of August.

Gu In-mo, the mayor of Geochang-gun, stated, “As vaccinations will begin in earnest from July, we will make every effort to ensure safe vaccinations,” and added, “We ask everyone to receive vaccinations with the mindset of preparing for the recovery of daily life.”
