It was found that the “subject to consent rate” announced for the first time before vaccination against the novel coronavirus (Corona 19) was 93.8%.

According to the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on the 20th, 93.8% (344,0004181) of the 362,6959 vaccination targets at national nursing hospitals, nursing facilities, mental care and rehabilitation facilities, and hospitals for treating COVID-19 patients, said they would be vaccinated.

The government refrains from commenting on these results, saying, “It is not desirable to judge that it is high or low.” However, the industry considers this to be a good number considering the goal of’Achieving collective immunity in November’. Population immunity refers to a state in which most of the members have immunity due to vaccination or the formation of natural antibodies, thereby suppressing the spread of infectious diseases, and indirectly protecting members without immunity.

The quarantine authorities have emphasized that’group immunity can be expected only when 60-70% of the total population acquire immunity.’ However, in order to secure 60-70% of immunity with a vaccine in Korea, where the rate of natural antibody formation is very low, the inoculation rate should be higher.

In the priority vaccination group, which is directly affected by Corona 19, the consent rate was high, but it is unknown how much the vaccination rate will be if the vaccination range is expanded in the future.

Previously, the first inoculation in Korea was started using the AstraZeneca vaccine, and the initial amount of Pfizer vaccine received through’CoVax Facility (International Project for Vaccine Joint Purchase)’ is used for inoculation of medical staff at the Corona 19 treatment hospital. In addition, NovaVax, Janssen, and Modena vaccine will be introduced to Korea in earnest from the second quarter.
