[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] The Sancheong County Health and Medical Center in Gyeongnam is administering the 4th COVID-19 vaccine booster shot to individuals aged 60 and older.

The 4th dose is available to those born on or before December 31, 1962, who have completed their 3rd dose at least 120 days prior.

Same-day vaccination is possible only for leftover vaccines, and starting from the 18th, the internet reservation system called ‘COVID-19 Pre-Reservation System’ and the phone reservation service ‘Sancheong County COVID-19 Telephone Consultation Office’ will be operational.

Reservations can also be made at each eup and myeon office. Vaccinations following pre-reservation will begin on the 25th.

Additionally, the Novavax vaccine, which was previously allowed only up to the 3rd dose, can now be administered for the 4th dose as well. The 4th dose can be chosen from mRNA vaccines (Pfizer or Moderna) or the Novavax vaccine.

A county official stated, “The implementation of the 4th dose for those aged 60 and above aims to prevent severe cases or deaths.”
