Janssen Vaccine Vaccine Vaccinations Started Today… Those in their 50s and those with underlying diseases will start on the 15th.

Additional vaccinations for more than 1.4 million people who have received the Janssen vaccine for COVID-19 will be conducted starting today (8th).

In the case of booster vaccination, most of the vaccines are given by Moderna, and if desired, Pfizer or Janssen vaccines are also available.

Considering that the breakthrough infection rate for Janssen vaccine recipients is higher than that of other vaccines, the COVID-19 Vaccination Response Promotion Team recommended that they receive a booster vaccination two months after the completion of the vaccination.

Additional vaccinations can be administered at the relevant medical institution after prior reservation, and the remaining vaccines can be inoculated on the same day.

In addition, priority vaccination occupational groups such as those in their 50s and those aged 18 to 49 with underlying diseases, health care workers and care workers receive booster vaccination six months after the completion of the basic vaccination. Vaccinations for them will start from the 15th.

Vaccinations are also underway for children aged 12 to 17 years. For 16-17 year olds, get the Pfizer vaccine until the 13th and 12-15 year olds until the 27th.
