Amid growing interest in insuring the Korean government’s COVID-19 vaccine, Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun said he is making efforts to insure more than 30 million people, which the government has proposed as a target amount. However, even if they signed a contract with a vaccine provider, there is no guarantee that they will be 100% successful. Reporter Hwang Hye-kyung reports. Questions about obtaining the Corona 19 vaccine also came up at the government emergency meeting. Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun drew a line that the ruling party was referring to “promoting the safety of 44 million people,” saying it was not without foundation, but it was not the government’s final draft. However, he explained that he is trying to insure more than 30 million people to obtain a target amount of 30 million people because there is no guarantee that he will be supplied 100% even if he has a contract with a bio-company. We plan to report the results to the public as soon as possible, but we emphasize that we are cautious with disclosure because complex factors such as pricing conditions, timing of supply, and expiration date are at play. It is one of the important supply lines that the government thinks of the UK’s ‘AstraZeneca’, which is controversial because it was only half the amount, but the effect is greater. It may be delayed, but it will not be a decisive problem. He also explained that he is providing administrative support along with the budget for national biological companies that are conducting vaccine research. This is YTN Hwang Hye-kyung.
