[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Geumcheon-gu (Mayor Yu Seong-hoon) announced on the 29th that the COVID-19 vaccination center located at Geumnarae Culture and Sports Center has ceased operations.

This follows the government's guideline to sequentially close vaccination centers as the nationwide vaccination rate exceeds 70% of the population.

On this day, Mayor Yu Seong-hoon of Geumcheon-gu encouraged and expressed gratitude to the medical staff and workers who have been on the front lines of COVID-19 at the vaccination center closing ceremony.

Since starting vaccinations for seniors aged 75 and older in April, the Geumcheon-gu vaccination center completed vaccinations for 163,631 residents, accounting for 71.7% of the district's population as of October 29.

After the closure of the COVID-19 vaccination center, vaccinations will transition to a delegated medical institution system, continuing vaccinations for additional eligible individuals including children and adolescents aged 12 to 17, and pregnant women.

On the 29th, Yoodong-gyun, Mayor of Mapo-gu, visited the vaccination centers set up at Mapo Community Sports Center and Mapo Art Center, which are closing operations, to encourage the staff.

The Mapo-gu COVID-19 vaccination center, which has been operating since April 15, completed first-dose vaccinations for 289,198 people, representing 78% of the 370,000 Mapo-gu residents, and completed vaccinations for 251,426 people, or 68% of the residents, as of the 28th.

With the closure of this COVID-19 vaccination center, future vaccinations will transition to the delegated medical institution system. Unvaccinated individuals, pregnant women, children and adolescents aged 12 to 17, and booster shot recipients will receive vaccinations starting in November at health centers and 133 delegated medical institutions within the region.
