They are planning to do the vaccination preparation work in advance, such as purchasing accessory items such as a cryogenic freezer and syringe to store the vaccine, and securing distribution costs.
Due to legal issues, it was pointed out that the pre-contract for a vaccine that has not been developed is delayed.

The party, the government, and the government emphasized that they would disclose the vaccine security situation to the public in a timely manner, but as the contract is a security matter, the fight over the vaccine is expected to continue for some time.
