[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongguk Lee] Ulsan Ulju-gun Public Health Center will provide free quadrivalent influenza vaccinations from the 21st of this month until April 30th of next year.

The Ulju-gun Public Health Center will first begin vaccinations on the 21st for children aged 6 months to under 8 years who are receiving their first-ever influenza vaccination. From the 5th of next month, vaccinations will be available for children aged 9 to 13 and pregnant women.

Pregnant women can receive the vaccination regardless of their pregnancy stage. Vaccinations for seniors aged 65 and older will start from the 12th of next month. Vaccinations will be administered sequentially by age group starting from those aged 75 and above.

From the 24th of next month, vaccinations will be provided to vulnerable groups such as basic livelihood security recipients, persons with disabilities, and veterans.

Eligible individuals can visit the nearest hospital or clinic regardless of their place of residence to receive the vaccination.

They must bring an ID that can verify their eligibility, and pregnant women need to bring a maternity handbook or pregnancy confirmation document.

Since the number of vaccinations per medical institution is limited, it is necessary to check with the institution beforehand whether vaccination is available. Information on vaccination medical institutions is provided on the Public Health Center’s website or the Vaccination Helper site.

Moon Sook-hee, Director of Ulju-gun Public Health Center, said, “During this time when the twin pandemic of influenza and COVID-19 is a concern, vaccination is the most effective way to protect your health during winter. We especially urge seniors with weakened immunity to get vaccinated.”
