[앵커]

When flu shots began today for people age 70 and older, older people worried they might leave early were crowded into the hospital.

The children’s vaccine supply shortage has been partially resolved, but there are still places that are causing a setback due to unsecured supplies.

From early in the morning, there is a long line in front of the screening center where you can get vaccinated against influenza.

Following the children and adolescents, on the first day of free flu vaccination over 70, the elderly constantly visit.

[박영희 / 서울 화곡동 : 나이도 있고 하니까, 가족을 위해서도 건강해야겠다는 생각으로 (독감 백신) 맞으러 왔습니다.] [이규중 / 서울 마곡동 : 예상으로는 시간이 좀 경과 되지 않겠느냐는 생각이 들었는데, 의외로 한 25분, 한 30분 안 된 것 같습니다.]

Due to fear that the vaccine will run out quickly, every time free age-free vaccinations begin, people flock in the early stages.

[이준우 / 샘내과의원 원장 : 작년보다 거의 60% 이상은 일찍 맞으러 오신 것 같습니다. 코로나19 때문에도 그렇고…. (백신이) 소진이 되더라도 주위에 있는 남아있는 병원에서 맞으시면 가능할 것 같습니다.]

The problem of the flu vaccine for children, which was in short supply, was partially solved last week when the government turned 15% of youth use into children.

On the other hand, there were several hospitals that still couldn’t get supplies.

Unlike flu vaccines for children over 62, which are supplied directly by the government, each hospital must purchase vaccines for children, so the circumstances appear to be different.

When they said they ran out of free vaccines for the children, they paid money to get them.

[김차희 / 서울 평창동 : 독감 예방 접종 (백신) 문제가 많다고 해서 원래 9월에 맞으려다가 좀 늦춰서 지금쯤 맞아야겠다고 해서 왔거든요. 무료 백신은 끝났다고 해서요. 유료로 맞았어요.]

Health authorities said the total supply of vaccines for children and pregnant women delivered to private medical institutions is not insufficient.
