[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Geochang-gun, Gyeongnam Province announced on the 14th that it plans to adjust the pre-registration and vaccination schedule for people in their 50s in relation to the early closure of pre-registration for vaccinations for the 55-59 age group (born 1962-1966) on the 12th.

The 55-59 age group who pre-registered on the 12th will receive vaccinations as originally scheduled from the 26th to August 7.

Pre-registration for the 55-59 age group who were unable to register due to the early closure will reopen from 8 PM on the 14th until 6 PM on the 24th, and reservations can be made through the vaccination website, the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency, public health centers, and local government call centers.

Vaccinations for the 55-59 age group who complete their reservation after 8 PM on the 14th will be administered from the 26th to August 14, and they can also make reservations and receive vaccinations during the 50-54 age group (born 1967-1971) vaccination period from August 16 to 25.

The 50-54 age group will begin staggered reservations starting on the 19th, and considering the introduction schedule of the Moderna vaccine, vaccinations will be conducted from August 16 to 25.

Those aged 53-54 (born 1967-1968) can start making reservations from 8 PM on the 19th, and those aged 50-52 (born 1969-1971) can start from 8 PM on the 20th. From 8 PM on the 21st until 6 PM on the 24th, pre-registration will be available regardless of age.

For the elderly group aged 60-74 who made reservations during the pre-registration period (May 6 to June 3) but canceled or postponed due to health reasons and remain unvaccinated, reservations and vaccinations will be conducted during the same period as the 55-59 age group.

Gu In-mo, the mayor of Geochang-gun, stated, “We will thoroughly prepare to ensure that everyone who wishes to be vaccinated can do so safely,” and added, “As COVID-19 cases continue to occur nationwide, we urge everyone to strictly follow daily quarantine guidelines.”
