[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Yeongam-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 25th that it will conduct on-site vaccinations at workplaces meeting certain criteria for foreign workers with low vaccination rates.

To expedite vaccinations, the county secured 3,200 doses of the Janssen vaccine, which requires only one dose, and prepared a detailed on-site vaccination plan through various and active promotions and reservation procedures at workplaces.

First, for workplaces with 300 or more eligible vaccine recipients, the county will directly visit the workplace to administer vaccinations. Vaccinations will be conducted at Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries on the 26th and 27th, and for workplaces with fewer than 300 eligible recipients located in the western Yeongam area, a temporary vaccination site has been selected at the Foreign Workers Welfare Center (HuStay B) in Daebul Industrial Complex, which has excellent accessibility and appropriate vaccination equipment, to operate from the 2nd of next month.

Additionally, workplaces with fewer than 300 eligible recipients located in the eastern area will conduct vaccinations at the county vaccination center (indoor gymnasium), except in special cases.

This on-site vaccination initiative was planned to alleviate time and distance inconveniences for foreign workers working in the Samho area and especially to dispel fears of identity exposure among undocumented foreigners. It is expected to increase vaccination rates and ultimately significantly reduce the COVID-19 infection rate within workplaces.

A county official stated, “This on-site vaccination will greatly contribute to blocking the spread of COVID-19 by addressing vaccination blind spots,” and added, “We hope many workplaces will actively apply to improve vaccination rates.”

Meanwhile, as of the 25th, Yeongam-gun has vaccinated 28,748 people, representing a 53.5% vaccination rate based on the population.
