Yesterday, the government announced that it had completed a contract to purchase 20 million COVID-19 vaccines with Modena. Modena also confirmed the contract and announced that it will supply the vaccine to Korea from May. Reporter Kim Hak-moo reports. The modena vaccine insured by the government through this contract is 40 million doses, which can be adapted to 20 million people. The American pharmaceutical company Modena also confirmed the contract with Korea and announced that it had decided to supply it to Korea from May this year. The company added that the vaccine is not currently approved for use in Korea, but will cooperate with authorities to obtain the necessary approval before distribution. With the conclusion of the contract with Modena, Korea has secured a vaccine that can inoculate a total of 56 million people. This exceeds 100% of the national population and is enough to form herd immunity. Prior to this, the government completed supply contracts with AstraZeneca for 10 million, Janssen for 6 million and Pfizer for 10 million. In addition, through ‘CoVax Facility’, an international project for the joint purchase and distribution of vaccines, we have obtained a total of 36 million vaccines, with a plan to first supply 10 million people. Pre-purchased vaccines are available in the first quarter of the new year for AstraZeneca, the second quarter for Janssen and Modena and the third quarter for Pfizer. Given that Modena, which has decided to supply the largest quantity, has announced that it will start supplying vaccines from May, it is noteworthy that the “herd immunity” training period foreseen in the autumn could be accelerated. The government has announced that it will release the vaccination plan that is currently being established in January.
