"Brief Discomfort, Double Protection"... Ulsan City Urges Simultaneous Influenza and COVID-19 Vaccinations

November 20: Mayor Kim Dookyum Receives Vaccination at Nam-gu Public Health Center
Encourages Seniors Aged 65 and Older to Participate in Vaccination

The Ulsan city government announced that Mayor Kim Dookyum will receive both the 2025-2026 season influenza and COVID-19 vaccines simultaneously at the Nam-gu Public Health Center at 11:30 a.m. on November 20, encouraging high-risk groups to participate in the vaccination campaign.

On this day, Mayor Kim Dookyum personally received the vaccines to promote participation in influenza and COVID-19 vaccinations among seniors aged 65 and older.

This 2025-2026 season vaccination campaign began with influenza vaccinations on September 22, and since October 15, both influenza and COVID-19 vaccinations have been provided free of charge to seniors aged 65 and older.

The influenza and COVID-19 vaccines being administered are effective against the currently circulating viruses, and are offered as annual seasonal vaccinations.

Vaccinations are available at designated medical institutions in the area, and you can check the nearest designated institution through the public health center or the Immunization Helper website.

The 2025-2026 season vaccinations will be available until April 30 of next year. However, as it takes 2 to 4 weeks for antibodies to form after vaccination, it is recommended to get vaccinated by the end of November.

Mayor Kim Dookyum stated, "To prepare for the early arrival of influenza and COVID-19 this year, I urge high-risk groups, including those aged 65 and older, to actively participate in the vaccination campaign."
