President Roh Young-min, head of the presidential secretary, said on 27: “By February next year, vaccination of medical personnel and the elderly will begin.” Secretary Noh attended high-ranking party, government and government meetings on this day and said: “We have already secured sufficient amounts to protect our people in terms of (insuring vaccines).”
Secretary Noh said: “Each country will start vaccinating the general population in the second quarter of next year (April to June). “We will start vaccination for the general public at the same time,” he said. “The time of formation of group immunity will be similar to that of foreign countries, or rather faster.”
Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun also said at this meeting: “We decided to introduce a vaccine for 46 million people, 2 million more than originally planned,” and said: “We will carefully prepare the quantity of contracted vaccine to be vaccinated from first quarter of next year “. However, as for the timing of the introduction of the total volume, he said, “it is difficult to clarify because it is affected by the production capacity of each pharmaceutical company.”
This is something of a refutation to the point that the vaccination war is relatively behind the United States and the United Kingdom. However, the AstraZeneca vaccine that the government decided to introduce in the first quarter. Approval is imminent in the developing country, the United Kingdom, and local reports say the vaccine will be available in January, but approval by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has been delayed.
That day, the power of the people came up with the idea of a vaccine exchange between Korea and the United States. Ho-young Joo said at the press conference that day, “Only sowing optimism can cause even greater misfortune.”
The hospital’s chief representative said: “It is urgent to secure the first vaccines through diplomatic consultations with countries that have purchased additional vaccines, not through contracts with vaccine manufacturers. The vaccine exchange will be another security alliance ”. Like currency exchanges, they claim to sign an exchange agreement with the US to first receive emergency vaccine supplies and then pay for domestic vaccines produced later.
The People’s Power emphasized that this exchange method is a proposal based on the Korea-United States Free Trade Agreement (FTA). In the ‘Drugs and Medical Devices’ section of Chapter 5 of the Korea-US FTA, the content is ‘to promote the development of high-quality cloned and patented drugs’. The party’s special committee on coronavirus countermeasures and diplomacy said: “We will deliver a vaccine exchange proposal to the Biden administration and the US Congressional think tank, which will be released soon.”
