It is an entry point.

This time, it is a controversy on the subject of WHO.

The WHO expert group has practically allowed the controversial option of “extension of the inoculation interval”.

However, the condition is that it is in the case of a country with a limited supply or a large distribution.

The WHO also said that after intensive discussions with the advisory committee, a recommendation has been drawn up to allow an extension of the 6-week interval.

With this decision it is hoped to empower the movements of some countries.

This is because after the UK and Denmark, which have already been implemented, there is a justification for emergency measures in Germany, which is considering implementation.

However, the pharmaceutical companies and the medical community that made the vaccine are very concerned.

This is because there is no precise clinical result in the case of prolonging the vaccination period.

In the midst of this, the United States is even fighting with the government and health authorities.

Monsef Slawi, executive director of the government’s vaccine development program, who says that only half the dose of Modena’s vaccine is administered, the FDA and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases are tense because there is no result yet. confirmed.

Reuters analyzed that the vaccination interval is being extended or the amount of vaccination reduced due to insufficient quantities of vaccine and worsening the situation of Corona 19.

But more importantly, this perception of representative organizations and countries having an absolute impact on the global health situation can go beyond a simple question of who is right and can confuse the COVID-19 guidelines of each country.

In Korea, where this vaccination will begin next month, the rapid spread has been detected.

As such, it is noted that a careful and scientific strategy should be established so that national vaccinations can be completed within a set period of time, rather than forcibly increasing the vaccination population from the start, taking lessons from the controversy. of vaccination of each country.
