– On the 20th, Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun visited the headquarters of SK Bioscience, which oversees the distribution of AstraZeneca (AZ), a novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19) vaccine, and requested thorough preparation for the people involved.
Prime Minister Chung said, “It will be an important week”, saying, “On the 24th, AZ vaccine will be shipped for the first time, and on the 26th, the first vaccination in Korea will begin, which will change the corona 19 charter.”
He added, “The government will do its best to mobilize all of its national capabilities to ensure that this vaccination is successfully promoted and restore daily life to the people as soon as possible.”
He also said, “Because vaccinations must be made to all the people within a short time, please do not slow down the tension and strive for tight distribution management.”
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Chung is planning to visit and encourage SK Bioscience’s Andong plant, which produces AZ vaccines on consignment, on the 24th, the first day of vaccine shipment.
