[Asia Economy Reporter Han Jinju] The Ministry of Education will begin on-site vaccination as early as the 15th, based on a demand survey.

On the 12th, the Ministry of Education announced that from the 6th to that day, a demand survey for on-site vaccination was conducted targeting students and parents via a self-diagnosis app, and 80,433 people from 8,374 schools applied for vaccination.

Local governments and education offices are expected to finalize detailed vaccination plans considering the application status and regional conditions, and to start full-scale vaccinations from the 15th.

On the same day, the Ministry of Education held a video conference with the Ministry of Health and Welfare and the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency to review the status of on-site vaccination and intensive vaccination support week, and discussed support measures considering difficulties at health centers and other field sites.

The vaccination methods and schedules by region will be implemented considering local conditions and the number of applicants per school. During school visit vaccinations, vaccination teams from health centers or entrusted medical institutions will carry out the vaccinations.

For cases where the number of vaccination targets is small or those who wish to visit vaccination institutions for vaccination, guidance will be provided to set schedules at the school level to allow vaccination at health centers or entrusted medical institutions.

The Ministry of Education, Ministry of Health and Welfare, and KDCA instructed local governments and schools to distribute vaccination notices, preparation guidelines for emergencies and adverse reactions, information on anxiety reactions related to vaccination and how to cope, anaphylaxis response manuals, and school preparation guidelines to ensure safe vaccination.

To prepare for possible adverse reactions on site after vaccination, an ambulance will be stationed or an immediate dispatch system will be established through consultation with the 119 emergency medical service.

The meeting also discussed the application of the vaccine pass system for adolescents.

The Ministry of Education stated, "The adolescent vaccine pass system is a necessary measure to prevent infections among students and protect unvaccinated individuals," adding, "We will actively collect field opinions from related ministries, educational sites, and experts within the scope of not undermining the basic principles, and prepare measures to supplement or provide additional support."
