[사회]Vaccine, introduced from February of next year already …

[앵커]

The pre-purchased COVID-19 vaccine will enter Korea starting next February.

However, the time to start vaccination has not yet been decided.

Reporter Lee Seung-hoon’s report.

[기자]

Pre-purchased vaccines will enter Korea starting next February and at least in March.

There is no order in which products are brought in first.

There are many people who are concerned about whether a vaccine is available and okay, so it is not too late to decide after checking the situation and side effects of the country where the vaccine is administered first.

The time of vaccination was not confirmed either.

Considering that it takes a long time to prepare for vaccination or analyze side effects, there are high expectations that vaccination will be available only in the second half of next year.

Furthermore, since vaccination is subject to personal consent, it is not possible to receive the vaccine without consent, even if you are the first candidate, and even if consent is given, it seems that it will be difficult to receive the vaccine by specifying a specific product.

However, children and adolescents were excluded from priority vaccination for safety reasons.

It appears that the Korean government has also accepted the controversial “side effect immunity”.

Unlike other vaccines, Corona 19 has a short development period, so there is great concern about side effects. The ‘immunity to side effects’ is that pharmaceutical companies take advantage of the fact that every country is competing for ‘pre-order’. It refers to the unfair demands of the hiring process.

It doesn’t make sense when you consider business practices only, but it’s a bit difficult for us to turn down all other countries, so please understand.

On the one hand, there is also a vaccination system.

Vaccines that require cryogenic storage, as in the United States and Germany, have been administered by a separate vaccination center, and a dedicated organization called ‘Corona 19 Vaccination Response Advocacy Team’ has been established to deal with all situations, such as adverse reactions to vaccines.
