[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Ji-hee] The COVID-19 vaccine pre-registration for the age group 55 to 59, which started at midnight on the 12th, has been temporarily suspended.

The COVID-19 Vaccination Response Promotion Team stated, "Reservations for those aged 55 to 59 are being made based on the vaccine supply secured, so reservations for vaccinations scheduled from July 26 to 31 have been temporarily suspended," adding, "Reservations for August 2 to 7 will also close once the secured vaccines are depleted."

The Promotion Team plans to provide separate guidance on the vaccination dates for those aged 55 to 59 at a later time.

However, pre-registration and vaccinations for the 50 to 54 age group will proceed as originally scheduled. This age group is expected to pre-register from the 19th to the 24th and receive vaccinations from August 9 to 21.
