[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] President Moon Jae-in urged people to get the third dose of the COVID-19 vaccine on the 23rd, noting that many have yet to receive it.

On the same day, President Moon stated through social networking services (SNS), "The fatality rate of the Omicron variant is more than five times higher for the unvaccinated compared to the seasonal flu fatality rate, but for those who have received the third dose, it is similar to the seasonal flu fatality rate."

President Moon emphasized, "The fatality rate of Omicron among those under 60 who have completed the third dose is 0% so far," adding, "For those under 60, completing the third dose means almost no deaths due to Omicron. This highlights how important the third dose is in responding to Omicron."

President Moon said, "There are still many who have not completed the third dose, and the number of unvaccinated people is not insignificant," and added, "Unless there are unavoidable circumstances, I would like to once again urge everyone to receive the vaccine up to the third dose."
