Jeonnam Province Implements 10-Day Vaccination Reservation System for Ages 18-49

Based on the Last Digit of the Resident Registration Number Birthdate

[Muan=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Jeonnam Province announced on the 9th that it will conduct vaccine reservation for the 18-49 age group using a 10-day rotation system.

The reservation period is from 8 PM on the 9th to 6 PM on the 19th. The vaccine types are Pfizer and Moderna, with a total of 440,000 doses available.

To prepare for a large number of people making reservations at once, a 10-day rotation system based on the last digit of the resident registration number's birthdate will be applied, with reservations open from 8 PM on the designated day until 6 PM the following day.

This system is similar to the 5-day rotation system used for public masks in March last year.

For example, residents born on the 9th, 19th, or 29th can make a reservation from 8 PM on the 9th until 6 PM on the 10th.

If the reservation opportunity is missed during this period, those aged 36-49 can make reservations from 8 PM on the 19th until 6 PM on the 20th, and those aged 18-35 can make reservations from 8 PM on the 20th until 6 PM on the 21st.

Afterwards, from 8 PM on the 21st until 6 PM on September 18th, reservations and changes can be made regardless of age.

Reservations can be made through the vaccine reservation system or the city/county call centers. Vaccinations will be administered sequentially starting from the 26th.

Kang Young-gu, Director of Health and Welfare Bureau of Jeonnam Province, said, “Vaccination for the 19-48 age group, who have high levels of social activity, is very important for forming herd immunity to overcome COVID-19,” and urged, “Eligible individuals should actively participate in vaccination according to the schedule.”

Meanwhile, vaccination for unvaccinated individuals aged 60 and above is ongoing. Those aged 60-74 can make vaccination appointments until the 18th, and those aged 75 and above can receive vaccinations at any time.
