Hwasun-gun Encourages Vaccine Reservations for Unregistered Individuals Aged 50-59

[Hwasun=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Ji-woon] Hwasun-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Gu Chung-gon) has actively stepped up efforts to increase the vaccination reservation rate among people in their 50s.

According to the county on the 27th, from the 12th to the 24th, the vaccination reservation rate for those aged 50 to 59 in Hwasun-gun reached 86.36%, with 7,314 out of 8,512 eligible individuals having made reservations.

Those who completed the pre-reservation will receive vaccinations sequentially based on criteria such as age, and vaccinations for those aged 55 to 59 began the day before.

Although vaccinations for people in their 50s have started, the county is putting all its efforts into raising the pre-reservation rate by using various media such as one-on-one phone calls, text messages, and SNS for vaccination guidance.

Unreserved individuals can visit or call one of the 15 designated medical institutions in the Hwasun area to receive leftover vaccines, but if they do not get vaccinated within the designated period, their vaccination may be postponed to a later priority.

As of the 23rd, out of the total population of 62,522 in Hwasun-gun, 32,142 people have completed the first dose (vaccination rate 51.4%), and 15,178 people have completed the second dose (vaccination rate 24.3%).

A health center official said, "The 4th wave is spreading to non-metropolitan areas, and the highly transmissible Delta variant may become the dominant strain, making the situation very dangerous. Please strictly follow quarantine rules and actively participate in vaccination."
