Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine has started in the UK. 343 days after the appearance of Corona 19, the phase 3 clinical trial was completed and general vaccination of the validated vaccine started. The first vaccine in the world was the 90-year-old grandmother. I will connect to the International Department for more information. Reporter Yeojin Lee! Tell us the detailed news. The UK government has launched a COVID-19 vaccine jointly developed by Pfizer, an American pharmaceutical company, and Bioentech, Germany, for people over 80 years old. The first recipient to receive the first officially approved vaccine after completing Phase 3 was her grandmother, Margaret Keenan, who turned 91 the following week, who received the vaccine at 6:31 a.m. local time at Coventry University Hospital, United Kingdom. “It is a great honor to be the first person to receive the Corona 19 vaccine,” said Grandma Keenan. He also said, “I got my best birthday present early,” he said. “After spending most of the year alone, I can finally look forward to spending it with my family and friends in the new year.” Other people were also strongly advised. Let’s listen. British Health Secretary Matt Hancock said “up to 70 hospitals are starting to get vaccinated.” “It seems the light at the end of the tunnel is visible,” Secretary Hancock said of the first mass vaccination of the Pfizer vaccine in the UK. “It’s quite exciting. It was made possible by the medical staff.” First of all, who gets vaccinated and how much? The UK government calls the first day of vaccination “V-DAY”. Starting today, the first dose will begin, 800,000 doses, for 400,000 people. The vaccine will first be administered by people 80 years of age and older and medical personnel, and by the end of the year, we plan to secure a number of approximately 2 million. Everyone who receives the first vaccine will receive a second vaccine after 3 weeks, health officials explained. Since Pfizer vaccine must be stored at a cryogenic temperature of -70 degrees Celsius, it takes a lot of money, special equipment, and labor to inoculate. Because of this, it has started, but the British government is expected to reach the target level next spring. The UK has so far purchased 40 million doses, which can inoculate 20 million people, targeting 25 million people, or 40% of the population. So far, the International Department has complied.
