170,000 AstraZeneca vaccines were transferred to national health centers and nursing hospitals, escorted by the military and police.
However, the entire vaccine that was intended to be sent to Jeju was replaced outside the proper storage temperature, and there were cases where it was delivered incorrectly to the wrong place.

In the dark early morning, one-ton trucks line up and enter the Icheon Distribution Center.
It is a procession to deliver AstraZeneca vaccine to over 1,900 hospitals and public health centers nationwide.
After sorting and packing overnight, it is divided into 55 trucks and delivered to 170,000 people.
At 5:50 am, delivery finally started under the escort of the military and police.
Transportation was reminiscent of a military operation, but there were also unexpected events.
The delivery time was delayed by more than two hours due to the delivery of vaccines to multiple locations at once, as a result of incorrectly taking vaccines from other hospitals or the prolonged inspection process before leaving the distribution center.
All of the 1,250 vaccines destined for Jeju Island were replaced when the temperature in the transport container fell below the appropriate temperature.
AstraZeneca should be stored at room temperature between 2 and 8 degrees, but the container temperature has dropped to 1.5 degrees.
The government said that the vaccine would be considered good and would be reused later instead of discarding it.

In the future, 600,000 AstraZeneca vaccines and 58,000 Pfizer vaccines are scheduled to be shipped.
The government pledged not to worry about the people by keeping the cold chain tight.
