Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun stressed that the vaccination of the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19), which is expected next month, should be planned in advance for the end of this month.

Prime Minister Chung ordered a meeting of the Central Headquarters for Disasters and Security Countermeasures for Corona 19 on the 4th, saying: “This year, we must regain the ordinary lives of our people lost due to Corona 19 as soon as possible.” Prime Minister Chung said: “At the end of last year, the government completed a corona19 vaccination contract for a total of 56 million people” and said: “A sufficient quantity for all citizens to be vaccinated.” “The timing of introduction of the contracted vaccine is also gradually being confirmed, so it is a critical time to prepare detailed vaccination plans in advance.” “The main countries of the United States and Europe already started vaccination three weeks ago, but the preparation is insufficient. There are reports that vaccination is not adequately accelerated ”. Prime Minister Chung said: “There is a situation where concerns are raised that many vaccines will have to be discarded because their expiration date has expired. This should never happen with our vaccination starting next month.” .

Prime Minister Chung told the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: “From the moment the vaccine arrives, we must prepare the whole process such as delivery, storage, vaccination and follow-up management for there are no gaps. ” “Vaccination plan for the end of this month”. I hope you carefully prepare and complete the process and inform people of the progress from time to time. “

Prime Minister Chung also said: “The 5th is the coldest day of the year, ‘Sohan’, and especially, the use of heaters is expected to increase as severe cold is forecast in the subzero region this week. According to the results of epidemiological investigations in elderly care facilities, the so-called three-soft environment, which is dense, sealed and closed, is the main cause. In winter, the use of heaters is unavoidable and ventilation is not possible due to the cold weather. “Prime Minister Chung also said:” The winter ventilation guidelines were prepared in Bangdaebon at the end of last November, but it is not possible to confirm if they are properly observed on site. “” By carefully considering the characteristics of each facility and situation, we quickly supplement the ventilation guidelines and hope that the promotional, orientation and inspection activities will be further strengthened so that they can be properly implemented. “
