“President Moon Jae-in received the AstraZeneca (AZ) vaccine. After the vaccine, he said he felt comfortable.” (Speaker Kang Min-seok, Blue House)
On the morning of the 23rd, the Blue House announced the condition of President Moon, who received the AZ vaccine for the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19) through a briefing at the Jongno-gu public health center in Seoul. Generally, matters related to the president’s health are classified as “top secret” among the state secrets. However, the fact that the Blue House disclosed President Moon’s health status after vaccination is evidence that it is well aware of the public interest and concern for the safety and efficacy of the AZ vaccine.
Spokesman Kang added, “According to the manual, President Moon waited 30 minutes (after vaccination) and returned to the Blue House immediately. He chaired the staff meeting immediately. The meeting lasted about an hour and a half.” He emphasized the fact that there is no problem even if you return to your daily life after vaccination. President Moon emphasized at the meeting that “(vaccination) is progressing smoothly, but the return to everyday life needs to be accelerated.”
All scenes from President Moon’s visit to the public health center to the completion of the vaccination were open to the public. This is to avoid unnecessary controversies about vaccination and to decrease rejection of vaccination by reporting that ‘AZ is the vaccine President Moon knew about. This is the day AZ vaccination began for people 65 and older, and President Moon, who is 68, and Ms. Kim Jung-suk, 66, are eligible for the vaccination.
President Moon said, “There is no problem,” while receiving the vaccine. When the nurse said it was tingling, he said, “Because you got the injection right,” he looked relaxed. After receiving the injection, Ms. Kim also asked, “Are you finished yet?” When Ms. Kim took off her jacket for the vaccination, she joked, “I’m taking my clothes off in front of everyone.”
In addition to President Moon’s partner, 9 people were vaccinated, including Seo Hoon, head of the Blue House National Security Office. President Moon’s vaccination was carried out to attend the G7 Summit held in the UK on June 11-13, and personnel essential to carry out the vaccination were also inoculated. The Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC) allow vaccines to be administered first when leaving the country for essential purposes, such as business travel. The Blue House explained, “The presidential medical institution dedicated to health is the Seoul District Hospital of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Korea, but the vaccination was carried out at the Jongno-gu public health center according to the President Moon’s intention to receive vaccinations with other members President Moon is scheduled to administer a second vaccine in mid-May.
A key member of the Blue House said that all vaccinated personnel were in an “uncomfortable state”. Cheongwa University Medical Secretary Tak Hyun-min, who received the vaccine, also posted a post on the Social Networking Service (SNS), saying, “All vaccines have worked again” and “I will inform you if there are any change before and after vaccination “.
