As the shortage of free flu vaccines for children continued, the government decided to convert 15% of free vaccines for teens into children. Although it caused exposure at room temperature, the amount of inoculation resumed is included in the judgment that the quality is not abnormal. This is reporter Lee Jung-mi. “Babies say free vaccination is over.” “The vaccine is out of stock.” These are the articles posted on Mom Cafe for a few days saying that free childhood flu shots are not available. In fact, some hospitals have a free flu vaccine for children under 12 years of age. Vaccines for children under 12 are inoculated by securing an amount at the hospital first, and then the government pays according to the amount of vaccination. You have to bring additional vaccines, but now it is hard to come by and the price has gone up so it is not easy to get it at the price set by the government as most providers sell it as a paid vaccine. Ultimately, the government decided to swap some of the free flu shots for teens ages 13-18 for kids 12 and under. Although it caused exposure to room temperature, it was determined that there was no quality problem and the inoculation quantity was resumed. As a result, about 350,000 people, or 15% of the supply to medical institutions, can be turned into children. However, more than 2 million children under the age of 12 have not yet been vaccinated against the flu. Parents of infants and young children may be reluctant to get vaccinated because it is a vaccine that caused exposure at room temperature. Since the free vaccination began, about half of the 244,000 young people who have been vaccinated against the flu have abandoned the free vaccine and have opted for the paid vaccine.
