According to the quarantine authorities on the 12th, the Agency for Disease Control and Prevention held the Vaccination Specialized Committee, an expert advisory body the day before, to discuss related issues.
On the 10th, the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety approved the use of the AstraZeneca vaccine for adults 18 years of age or older, but the’Precautions for Use’ stated that’The use of the vaccine for elderly people 65 years of age or older must be carefully determined.’ I decided to do it. Therefore, the Agency for Disease Control and Prevention will hold an advisory meeting once more to decide how to inoculate the elderly in the actual medical field.
The AstraZeneca vaccine will be vaccinated on the 26th, with the first amount of 750,000 people coming into Korea on the 24th. The government is planning to hit 780,000 residents and workers in nursing hospitals and nursing homes first.
This vaccine has been conditionally licensed or approved for emergency use in 50 countries such as the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and the UK, but Germany and France recommended vaccination only for those under the age of 65, and Belgium recommended only for those under the age of 55. . Switzerland withheld the approval itself. This is why it is difficult to accurately determine the preventive effect due to the lack of participants in the clinical trials of the elderly.
The World Health Organization (WHO) advisory group recommended on the 10th (local time) that “the AstraZeneca vaccine can be used by people over the age of 65, given the totality of available evidence.”
