Astra on the 26th, Pfizer on the 27th… The first step to vaccination

[코로나 백신]Vaccination after 403 days of first confirmation in Korea

Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun at SK Bioscience headquarters in Bundang-gu, Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-do on the 20th is looking at a cryogenic storage box that will be used to distribute the Corona 19 vaccine. The US Pfizer vaccine, which will enter Korea on the 26th, must be stored at around -70 degrees Celsius. Seongnam = News 1-The new coronavirus infection (Corona 19) vaccination will begin in Korea on the 26th. It has been 403 days since January 20 last year when the first confirmed case in Korea was released. Starting with the UK AstraZeneca vaccine on the day, the Pfizer vaccination from COVAX Facility (International Vaccine Sharing Project) will be conducted on the 27th. Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun said at a meeting of the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters on the 21st, “117,000 doses of Pfizer (58,500 people) will be inoculated to medical personnel to treat COVID-19 patients from the 27th.”

In nursing hospitals and facilities ahead of the first vaccination on the 26th, the final preparations are in full swing amid tension. On the 21st, Mr. Noh-hoon, 45, director of the Carnation Nursing Hospital in Uijeongbu, Gyeonggi Province, said, “It is half expectations and half fears.” During the first quarter (January-March), the number of vaccinations at this hospital was 70, including 52 employees including Director Roh and 18 patients under the age of 65. Director Roh, who completed all vaccination training last week, said, “We will take a close look at items that are not in other vaccines such as influenza (flu) to prevent problems.” “We take great responsibility because we think that the vaccination will be smooth after we take the first step. I feel it” he added.

The nurses who would actually administer the vaccination could not hide their trembling hearts. Choi Kyung-sook (63, female), a nurse at Jejung Nursing Hospital in Guro-gu, Seoul, who has been a veteran for 40 years, said, “AstraZeneca is an intramuscular injection similar to the existing vaccination, so it doesn’t seem necessary to practice much.” I will get the vaccination myself.” Including Choi, 181 people were eligible for vaccination in the first quarter of this hospital. He added, “After receiving the vaccination, my son in the United States contacted me saying,’There is no problem, so don’t worry.’” He added, “I hope that the antibody effect will come out well because everyone is happy.

Patients in nursing hospitals and facility residents are also waiting for the vaccination with half anxiety and half excitement. Director Roh said, “The residents have not been able to meet their families for a long time due to the risk of infection. Many people expect that if the vaccination goes well, they will be able to see their family soon.”

View larger-Park Eun-kyung (46, female), a nurse, who is the head of the infection control team at the Central Region Vaccination Center, said, “There is no vaccine that is 100% effective or has no adverse reactions,” and “I don’t want you to worry about vaccination too early. He will work at an indoor sports facility in Cheonan, Chungcheongnam-do, designed for Pfizer vaccination. With the vaccination approaching, a cryogenic freezer for Pfizer was installed in the center. Park, who recently opened this freezer with his bare hands, told the manager, “Do you know it’s a normal freezer? I hurt my hand.” He said, “I realized that a’cryogenic vaccine’, which I only heard in words, is coming,” he said. “Everyone is making desperate efforts to return to their daily lives. I hope there is no one who says,’It would be okay if I didn’t fit at least one.’ Kwon Eun-jeong (39, female) of the public health center in Ongjin-gun, Incheon, the only’Corona 19 clean area’ in Korea, said, “We have aroused to announce that all 31 people who have been vaccinated, including those in Baengnyeongdo nursing facility, will be vaccinated. I hope it will be.” Jeong-won Lee (31, female) at the Yeosu City Health Center in Jeonnam, who has finished working at the screening clinic for one year and is preparing for vaccination, said, “Finally, I am new to vaccination. I think I can see the end of the situation that seemed to be lacking.”

However, there was also an atmosphere of worrying about mistakes. Choi Kyung-sook said, “I am concerned about whether the correct amount of Corona 19 vaccine can be extracted from one vial and inoculated, and whether air that can cause deterioration will enter the vial during the extraction process. The management and disposal methods are also tricky.” “I hope the system is stable until the start of the vaccination,” said Kwon, saying, “I was still unstable in the computer system, but there were still errors in confirming medical facilities in the first quarter of last week.” Also, don’t donate blood for 7 days from the date of vaccination or 7 days from the day the symptoms disappeared if you have any abnormal symptoms.
