Ulsan Ulju-gun Expands Free Influenza Vaccinations

Ulju-gun, Ulsan City, will expand free influenza vaccination support to include high-risk groups and school-age adolescents.

Starting from October 23, Ulju-gun will provide free influenza vaccinations at 57 local designated medical institutions until vaccine supplies run out. The target groups include residents of Ulju-gun who are in high-risk age groups vulnerable to respiratory infectious diseases, such as those aged 14-18 and 50-64, recipients of basic national livelihood security, persons with disabilities, and national veterans.

For the existing national vaccination target groups outside the expanded support, the free vaccination schedule is as follows: October 20 for children requiring two doses, October 5 for children requiring one dose and pregnant women, October 11 for seniors aged 75 and older, October 16 for seniors aged 70-74, and October 19 for seniors aged 65-69. Vaccinations will be conducted at 76 designated medical institutions within the jurisdiction until April 30 of next year.

The vaccination schedule is as follows: children aged 6 months to 8 years receiving their first-ever vaccination or those who did not complete two doses in the first year will receive two doses at a 4-week interval. Those with a history of two or more vaccinations in the past require only one dose. Children aged 9 years and older and adults will receive one dose regardless of past vaccination history.

Eligible individuals for free influenza vaccination should bring identification and qualification documents such as a resident registration certificate and visit the designated medical institutions listed on the Ulju-gun Public Health Center website to receive the vaccination.

An official from the Ulju-gun Public Health Center stated, “Vaccinations should be received on a day when you are in good health, and rest should be taken on the day of vaccination to avoid strain on the body,” adding, “You should carefully monitor your physical condition for 2 to 3 days after vaccination.”
