Between the ages of 18 and 49, half of the young and elderly population, or 61% of the nation, completed the first dose of the vaccine.
It seems that the government’s plan of 70% of the nation’s first vaccination can be achieved before Chuseok, and group infections such as indoor sports facilities are also continuing.
We connect reporters who are out in the field. Reporter Hong Min-ki!
Please tell us about the vaccination status.

It has been about two hours since the vaccination started, and 300 people have already visited this place to get vaccinated.
The place I am at is a place where I check for abnormal reactions while waiting after getting vaccinated.
In case of emergency, paramedics and a first aid room are prepared.
A total of 843 people are vaccinated here today.
Among them, 836 people aged 18 to 49 years, except for 7 people, are all young and elderly.
In this way, even in the entire population, the rate of vaccination among the young and old is increasing.
Yesterday (8th), 51% of the population aged 18 to 49 had completed their first dose of the vaccine.
It seems that it is because the advance reservation rate is over 70%, and there are a lot of cases where the remaining vaccines are applied.
The day (7th), more than 570,000 people completed their first vaccination a day, and the total population vaccination rate was 61%.
If this trend continues, the government expects to achieve the goal of 70% primary vaccination before Chuseok.
Vaccine supply has also stabilized.
Yesterday (8th), 3,428,000 copies of direct contracts with Pfizer came in, and 1.05 million copies of Pfizer and 450,000 copies of Moderna came in one after another.
However, as the speed of vaccination is increasing, misinoculation is also occurring everywhere.
At a vaccination hospital in Guri-si, Gyeonggi-do, 105 people received the Pfizer vaccine, which expired about two days ago.
At a hospital in Dalseo-gu, Daegu, 61 people received the expired vaccine, and cases of misinoculation were reported one after another in Seoul, Incheon, Pyeongtaek and Ulsan.
The quarantine authorities explained that they are preparing additional measures, such as improving the computer system that displays the expiration date.
[앵커]
Is mass infection still occurring?
[기자]
That’s right.
At an indoor sports facility in Seodaemun-gu, Seoul, after one user was first confirmed on the 28th of last month, the cumulative number of confirmed patients increased to forty.
It was investigated that there was not enough natural ventilation and did not keep the distance while exercising with a lot of splashes.
In addition, 40 people were confirmed in the metal manufacturing industry in Hwaseong, Gyeonggi-do, and 16 people were infected so far in the sauna in Goyang.
There have also been cases of ‘breakthrough infection’, where people become infected after being vaccinated.
At a rehabilitation hospital in Incheon, 13 people, including 11 patients, were group-infected and the hospital was isolated in the same group.
In addition, a third-year high school student in Gyeyang-gu, Incheon was also infected after completing the second dose of the vaccine.
However, quarantine authorities believe that it was not infected at school and are continuing further investigations.
