[사회]Vaccination available for adults from July … Amount of ‘variable’ insured vaccine

[앵커]

As vaccination begins in earnest, we are very interested in when our family can get the vaccine.

Adults are expected to get vaccinated around July, but the vaccine supply is variable.

Reporter Lee Kyo-jun reported.

Starting with residents and workers under the age of 65 in nursing hospitals and nursing facilities, we are vaccinating workers like COVID-19 patient treatment institutions.

Starting next month, it will be expanded to medical staff and 119 paramedics in high-risk medical institutions such as general hospitals.

In the second trimester, vaccines are available to seniors 65 years of age or older, general medical institutions, and pharmacies.

The average adult won’t be able to get the vaccine until July.

People with chronic illnesses, military personnel, police, and youth education facilities may take priority.

However, if you are unable to select the type of vaccine and you refuse to receive the vaccine in your own order, the vaccination opportunity will be delayed after November.

Health authorities plan to sequentially administer vaccines for group immunity in November, but ensuring the quantity of vaccine remains an important variable.

Also, if the problem of the effectiveness of the vaccine arises, certain age groups or certain diseases can be excluded from vaccination.
