Until early Monday (01/03/21), COVID-19 vaccination for 21,177 people had been taking place in South Korea.
Vaccination for 564 health workers (nakes) at a special hospital for COVID-19 in the Seoul metropolitan area has taken place at the Korean National Medical Center in Seoul with the Pfizer vaccine.
Meanwhile, the AstraZeneca vaccine has been injected into health workers and patients in elderly hospitals for 15,900 people and elderly facilities for 4,600 people.
A total of 152 cases of side effects have been reported, but all of them are mild symptoms such as fever above 38 ° C, muscle aches, headache, and so on.
Health authorities say it is important to keep the number of people vaccinated against the number of vaccines, namely 10 people for one bottle of AstraZeneca vaccine and 6 people for one bottle of Pfizer vaccine.
Therefore, it is emphasized that it is not acceptable to mix one remaining vaccine with vaccines from other manufacturers.
Meanwhile, the government has set a list of vaccination recipients for COVID-19 response workers this week so that vaccinations for them can be carried out starting on March 7.
