Representative Yoon replied, “In response to the opposition lawmakers’ order in November to rush to get the vaccine, the Minister of Health and Social Welfare replied,” We are doing various negotiations to get the price as reasonable as possible without being so impatient. “Not only countries with a large number of confirmed cases, but also countries with much better control of the virus, such as Taiwan and New Zealand, have entered the war to secure a vaccine since last August.”
Assemblyman Yoon also mentioned the economic effect of the corona vaccine19. He said: “In the UK, where vaccination began last week, there are signs of economic recovery beginning to twist in several places.” Also, when vaccination begins, it is expected that it will be required if the vaccine has been received as a prerequisite for migration. It can be done. “At the same time, Congressman Yoon predicted that” in corporate or financial meetings or transactions, there is great concern that people in countries where vaccines are not insured are isolated. “
Kim Jong-in, chairman of the People’s Power Emergency Countermeasures Committee, argued at a meeting of the non-confrontational committee the day before: “There are some people who say that a vaccine will be available next March, but I cannot have any doubts. on whether you can trust a situation where you are not really insured. ” At the same time, he urged President Moon Jae-in to respond to the development progress and safety of vaccines. This is also a comment directed at what said the executive director of the Democratic Party, Lee Nak-yeon, “We are trying to start treatment before January next year and vaccination before March next year.”
President Kim said: “USA. “The US and UK have already started vaccination, but we are asking for answers to questions from the public about why we are not buying vaccines correctly.” “President Moon and the government take the failure of the ‘K quarantine’ seriously. Apologize for that. ”

Earlier, Jung Eun-kyung, head of Defense Countermeasures Headquarters (Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) announced that through a briefing the day before, they are conducting review discussions on the contract with the goal of hiring at least two vaccine companies by the end of the year. Commissioner Jeong said: “We have completed a purchase contract for the AstraZeneca vaccine and we are currently reviewing the contract confirming the purchase of the remaining three products.”
The government plans to insure 10 million people through the COVAX facility, an international project for the joint purchase and distribution of vaccines, and to insure a total of 44 million vaccines, including 34 million through individual negotiations with pharmaceutical companies from vaccinations It has been revealed. He has completed a 20 million times contract with AstraZeneca and has signed a 20 million more supply contract with Pfizer, 4 million times with Janssen and 20 million times with Modena. Based on Chung’s description, he is expected to complete contracts with two from Pfizer, Janssen and Modena. Commissioner Chung did not reveal which pharmaceutical companies are expected to sign contracts this year.
It appears that the fact that Chung directly mentioned the timing of the vaccine contracts with pharmaceutical companies other than AstraZeneca was based on the fact that the explanation of the government’s procurement status of the vaccine is ambiguous. It is interpreted as a conscious maneuver of the offensive of the opposition parties, fearing that the vaccination will also be delayed due to the delay in obtaining the vaccine by the Korean government while vaccination is started in some foreign countries such as the United Kingdom .
Meanwhile, after the UK and the US, on the 14th (hereafter local time), Canada also started vaccinating against Corona 19. According to the Associated Press and other foreign media, Canada’s first coronavirus vaccine was an 89-year-old woman who lived in a nursing facility for the elderly and received the Pfizer vaccine. On the 8th, a 90-year-old white grandmother was vaccinated in the UK for the first time in the world, and at 9:30 a.m. on the 14th, a nurse in her 50s from Jamaica working at the Long Island State Hospital in Queens, New York, he received the vaccine.
