At 10 am, 50,000 virtual vaccines from Pfizer arrive at Incheon International Airport.

Vaccines contained in special containers are loaded onto mobile equipment at the airport and transported to the vaccine warehouse for customs clearance.

For Pfizer vaccines that must be kept between -60 degrees and 90 degrees Celsius, the cold chain or “refrigerated distribution” is essential.

For this, a special container was created that can be refrigerated and distributed separately from the frozen package of the vaccine itself.

After customs clearance, the vaccine is shipped to the Pyeongtaek distribution center around noon.

The front and rear of the vaccine transport vehicle and the spare refrigerated vehicle are escorted by police sidecars, patrol cars and military police vehicles, and double or triple security is provided to prepare for unexpected situations.

Vaccines arriving at the distribution center are divided by region and transferred to the vaccination center.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention monitors the storage status or unusual circumstances of the vaccine during all transfers.

President Moon Jae-in asked for cooperation, calling for thorough preparation, assuming unexpected and unexpected situations.
