'Moderna 2,552,000 Doses Have Arrived'

On the 6th, 2,552,000 doses of the Moderna vaccine arrived at Incheon Airport via cargo plane. Including the doses that have been sequentially introduced since the 23rd of last month, the total reached 6,759,000 doses. This corresponds to 96.4% of the 7.01 million doses that Moderna initially announced would be supplied over two weeks.

The government stated that it is in discussions with Moderna regarding the remaining 251,000 doses yet to be supplied, as well as the doses scheduled for delivery this month. Son Young-rae, head of the Social Strategy Division at the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters, said at a regular briefing the day before, "The doses that have arrived are sufficient to carry out the vaccination plan for those who have made reservations without significant disruption," adding, "We do not plan to demand an apology for minor supply delays, and we will closely coordinate to ensure stable supply of doses in September."
