Hamyang-gun Expands COVID-19 4th Vaccination Eligibility to People in Their 50s...
Advance reservations can be made through the website, call center, eup/myeon offices, and medical institutions, etc.
[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Hamyang-gun, Gyeongnam, is conducting advance reservations and vaccinations for the expansion of the 4th dose vaccination targets as a preemptive measure to prepare for the summer resurgence of COVID-19 due to decreased vaccination effectiveness and natural immunity, and to prevent severe illness and death among high-risk groups.
The expanded 4th dose vaccination targets include people in their 50s (born before 1972), individuals aged 18 and over with underlying conditions, and workers and residents of infection-vulnerable facilities (disabled and homeless). The vaccination interval is for those who have passed 4 months after completing the 3rd dose, and if confirmed positive after the 3rd dose, vaccination is recommended 3 months after the confirmation date.
Advance reservations will begin on the 18th, and vaccinations based on these reservations will be conducted on August 1. Additionally, from July 18, same-day reservations and vaccinations are possible if leftover vaccines occur at medical institutions.
The vaccine types are mRNA vaccines (Pfizer or Moderna) or Novamax, and vaccinations can be administered at designated medical institutions after advance reservation.
Advance reservations can be made via the website, call center, or by visiting or calling each township health center, eup/myeon office, and medical institution.
