[전국]”Prevent the simultaneous epidemic of Corona 19 and flu” … Free vaccination for all residents

[앵커]

Before winter, full-blown influenza vaccination began.

Boseong-gun, Jeollanam-do went beyond government policy and started free vaccination for all residents.

This is to prevent the simultaneous epidemic of COVID-19 and flu.

This is Na Hyun-ho’s reporter.

Villagers sit in chairs in the open space in front of the health center and wait their turn.

When it’s your turn, your doctor will do a brief exam and then give you an injection in your shoulder.

Influenza vaccination has started in several rural areas, with a focus on health centers.

As they fight Corona 19 this year, residents are in a hurry.

One hundred flu shots arrived early.

[전상문 / 전남 보성군 덕촌마을 이장 : (코로나19 여파로) 경로당도 못 오시는 분도 많이 계시고, 이번 주사를 맞음으로써 내일이라도 당장 노인분들이 경로당에 오셔서 식사도 할 수 있는….]

There are many older people in public health centers, but relatively young people also go out for injections.

This is because local governments give free flu shots to all military personnel.

[정경숙 / 전남 보성군 조성면 : 아이들 것까지 다 (접종)하다 보면, 좀 부담을 느꼈었는데 올해 이렇게 뜻하지 않게 코로나19 때문에 무료 접종을 해준다고 하니까 너무 감사했습니다.]

Even in the middle of a vaccination contest and an accident in which national vaccines are exposed at room temperature, we have obtained 15,000 adult vaccines.

[김철우 / 전남 보성군수 : 국가에서 무료로 지원하는 대상자뿐만 아니라 국가 접종 유료 대상자인 19세부터 61세까지를 포함해 전 군민을 대상으로 무료 접종을 실시하고 있습니다.]

Before winter, every local government strives to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and the flu at the same time.
