Vaccination for Residents Who Completed 2nd Dose 3 Months Ago and Wish to Receive 3rd Dose Held on 12th from 1 to 5 PM at Techno Mart 5th Floor

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Gwangjin-gu (Mayor Kim Seon-gap) will operate a ‘Mobile Vaccination Center’ at Gangbyeon Technomart on the 12th.

This mobile vaccination center is operated to prevent COVID-19 cluster outbreaks in large workplaces densely populated with workers, provide vaccination convenience to residents, and increase the vaccination rate.

The target is residents who wish to receive the third dose after three months (90 days) have passed since completing the second dose. Vaccinations will be conducted on the 5th floor inside the workplace of Gangbyeon Technomart from 1 PM to 5 PM on the 12th.

The vaccine type is Pfizer, and one team consisting of 2 doctors, 2 nurses, 4 administrative staff, and 1 transportation staff will be deployed.

Applications will be accepted on-site, and early closure may occur if vaccine supplies run out.
