It is reported that Japan made a large purchase request to Poonglim Pharmatech, a manufacturer of special syringes for corona 19 vaccination, which President Moon Jae-in visited today (18th).
Kyodo News Agency said that Poonglim Pharmatech has received requests to purchase about 80 million syringes from Japan.
Japan began vaccinating the corona19 vaccine developed by Pfizer, an American pharmaceutical company, for medical workers on the 17th, but it has been late to secure special syringes that are causing shortages worldwide.
With the general syringe secured by the Japanese government, it is only possible to inoculate 5 times per bottle, but with a special syringe with a small amount of vaccine remaining at the end of the syringe, it can be inoculated 6 times.
In Japan, Nipro, a medical device manufacturer, plans to multiply the production of special syringes at a plant in Thailand from 500,000 per month, but the supply of incremental components is expected to be achieved around September, Kyodo News said.
