The Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency announced on the 2nd that the Tdap vaccine, which prevents diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis, has been newly selected as a national stockpile vaccine.
The Tdap vaccine experienced supply instability in the second half of last year due to the impact of the return to normal life. The stockpile target quantity for the Tdap vaccine this time is 90,000 doses.
The vaccine stockpiling has been conducted since July 2018 after gathering expert opinions and comprehensively reviewing factors such as import dependency and the availability of alternative vaccines.
