Pfizer vaccines also start today. First, you will first meet the Corona 19 medical staff working in the metropolitan area. Let’s connect journalists and hear the details. Reporter Lee Jong-won! Is the Pfizer vaccine being administered today for the first time at the Central Vaccination Center? Yes, the Pfizer vaccination is in progress starting at 9 am at the Central Vaccination Center of the National Medical Center. Including 199 workers at the National Medical Center, 300 members of the corona19 medical staff in the metropolitan area are eligible for vaccination. Vaccination for medical personnel at the forefront of the Corona 19 response is beginning in earnest. Pfizer vaccine stored at cryogenic temperatures can only be inoculated after thawing and then diluted separately. It was reported that the National Medical Center had finalized the necessary equipment such as diluent and syringes before the first vaccination and until last night. Even today, the prep work is in progress from an early hour. Today the medical personnel of the vaccination centers by region that are about to be vaccinated will also appear, who will observe the vaccination process and receive training. So when will Pfizer vaccines start at other vaccination centers? Yes, the Pfizer vaccine that arrived in Korea yesterday is a vaccine supplied by the Cobax Facility, an international vaccine supply project. Immediately after arriving at the airport, they were escorted by the police and taken to the National Medical Center, as well as 5 vaccination centers in the Chungcheong area, the Yeongnam area, and the Honam area. However, vaccines are only administered today at the National Medical Center and vaccination centers by region start on the 3rd of the following month. In addition, in medical institutions with more than 120 patients and medical staff, autoinoculation can be administered. Starting on the 8th of next month, Pfizer vaccines will be delivered to 82 in-house vaccination centers. Health authorities plan to complete the first vaccination by the 20th of the following month and complete the second vaccination around April 10, three weeks later. Yet the Pfizer vaccine that arrived yesterday is just 58,000 out of 10 million government contracts. With 500,000 people expected to arrive by the end of next month, the full vaccination with Pfizer is expected to begin around April.
