Gumi City Launches Shingles Vaccination Support Project with Gumi Green Rotary Club
[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongguk Lee] Gumi City and Gumi Green Rotary Club signed an agreement on the 23rd for the 'Shingles Vaccination Support Project.'
Through this agreement, 805 low-income vulnerable elderly residents aged 50 and over in Gumi City will be able to receive free vaccination benefits. The 105 million KRW for shingles vaccination costs will be supported by the Gumi Green Rotary Club.
'Shingles' is a disease caused by the varicella-zoster virus, which, after causing chickenpox in childhood, remains dormant around the nerves without symptoms, then reactivates when immune function declines, causing a rash on the skin and severe pain. It commonly occurs in elderly people aged 50 and above.
Gumi City will handle administrative support such as project promotion and applicant reception, and vaccinations can be received at designated local hospitals specified by the Gumi Green Rotary Club until the end of the year.
