[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Geochang-gun, Gyeongnam announced on the 9th that, according to the Disease Control Agency's 'July Implementation Plan for COVID-19 Vaccination,' advance reservations for Moderna vaccine vaccinations will be made for people in their 50s from the 12th to the 24th.

This vaccination prioritizes people in their 50s as the target group, considering the risk factors such as the severity rate of COVID-19 by age group.

Considering the amount and timing of vaccine supply, advance reservations will be made at 1 to 2-week intervals. First, those aged 55 to 59 (born 1962?1966) can make reservations from the 12th to the 17th, and those aged 50 to 54 (born 1967?1971) from the 19th to the 24th.

After completing the advance reservation, those aged 55 to 59 (born 1962?1966) can receive their vaccination at the selected vaccination center or entrusted medical institution on the reserved date from the 26th to August 7th, and those aged 50 to 54 (born 1967?1971) from August 9th to August 21st.

For the Moderna vaccine, two doses are required, and the second dose is automatically scheduled four weeks after the first dose.

Advance reservations can be made through the vaccination website, the county health center, and the local eup/myeon/dong community service centers, where individuals can select their preferred vaccination center or entrusted medical institution. There are 19 entrusted medical institutions in the county, which can be confirmed on the Geochang-gun website.

County Governor Goo In-mo stated, “We will thoroughly prepare to ensure rapid and safe vaccination in cooperation with entrusted medical institutions in the county,” and added, “We ask for active participation in vaccination according to the schedule for each target group to form community herd immunity for the recovery of daily life.”
