The government announced that it has already obtained 10 million copies of the Corona 19 vaccine and is in negotiations with global pharmaceutical companies to secure another 20 million.

The goal is to supply 30 million people in total next year and a detailed plan will be announced soon.

Four out of ten COVID-19 vaccines being developed around the world are believed to be in the final stages of development.

Of the 107 vaccine trials registered with the National Institutes of Health, 44% and 41% are currently in “Phase III.”

Recently, when ‘Pfizer’ and ‘Modena’ announced the interim results of phase 3 that more than 90% of the preventive effects are expected, the expectation that the release of the vaccine is imminent has increased.

Competition between countries is also fierce to secure vaccine supplies, and the Korean government predicts it will be able to recruit more than 20 million people through negotiations with various pharmaceutical companies.

The goal is to supply 30 million people, including the 10 million people already insured through the World Organization for the Supply of Vaccines, ‘CoVax Facility’.

The government also secured a budget of 170 billion won on behalf of the advance payment for the purchase of vaccines.

However, it did not disclose which pharmaceutical companies they are currently negotiating with, and said it is bound to maintain confidentiality until the purchase is confirmed.

Instead, he explained that he would announce a detailed vaccine procurement plan within this month.

The government plans to end corona19 vaccination before the flu pandemic next year, but stressed that it is important to observe the distance for corona 19 control as it takes a long time to get the vaccine.
