[앵커]
The 58,000 Pfizer vaccines that arrived this time are the first of the 10 million people supplied by Kovacs Facility, an international vaccine supply project.
This vaccine will begin to be administered to the medical staff at the hospital dedicated to Corona 19 starting today, and it is planned to complete the second vaccination in early April.

A vehicle carrying the Pfizer vaccine arrived at the National Medical Center, where the Central Vaccination Center was set up in police escort.
It has an amount of vaccine that can fit 32,000 people.
Here, the first vaccination is performed for 300 corona19 medical staff, after which the vaccine is sent to each medical institution for self vaccination.

Vaccinations at vaccination centers in the Chungcheong, Yeongnam, and Honam areas start on the 3rd of the following month.
This is because training is required because it is difficult to adjust the dose so that the vaccine can be stored at a very low temperature, dissolved, mixed with saline, and administered to 6 people per bottle.
The government has even prepared for vaccinations by practicing rehearsals.

Pfizer vaccinations, which require two doses, will finish the first dose by the 20th of the following month, and the second dose will be completed on April 10th, three weeks later.
However, 58,000 servings are just a taste.
Of the 13 million people signed by the government directly with Pfizer, 500,000 are expected to arrive at the end of March.

Therefore, full-fledged Pfizer vaccination is expected to begin around April.
From that time on, 250 vaccination centers in each region of the country will also be put into operation.
