[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] The Sancheong-gun Health and Medical Center in Gyeongnam announced on the 12th that it will sequentially carry out COVID-19 vaccination for about 2,200 people from August to September.

The Health and Medical Center plans to accept advance reservations and administer vaccinations to approximately 500 people aged 18-49, 30 people with developmental disabilities, and about 1,670 unvaccinated individuals aged 60-74 during this period.

Advance reservations for those aged 18-49 are currently being conducted on a 10-day rotation basis, with reservations accepted until the 19th. Those who miss their designated date can make a reservation again from the 19th to the 21st.

In addition to the online reservation system, the "COVID-19 Advance Reservation System," the Health and Medical Center operates the "Sancheong-gun COVID Telephone Consultation Office" to provide phone reservation services. During the holiday period from the 14th to the 16th, those assigned to the 10-day rotation can also make reservations by phone.

Foreigners will be vaccinated in the same manner as Korean nationals. Even if they do not have a foreigner registration number, they can receive a temporary management number from the Sancheong-gun Health and Medical Center to get vaccinated.

According to the Health and Medical Center, as of August 10, 19,996 people (58%) in Sancheong-gun have completed the first dose, and 8,495 people (25%) have completed the second dose.

This rate is higher than Gyeongnam Province's first-dose vaccination rate of 41.8% (as of 6 p.m. on August 9).

An official from the center said, "As vaccinations for the young and middle-aged groups, who are socially and economically active, are beginning in earnest, we are doing our best to ensure safe vaccinations. We thank all the residents who actively participated in the vaccination. We will continue to focus on quarantine and vaccination efforts."
