[앵커]
It’s really a long-awaited vaccine for everyone. The medical association is pouring cold water every day. Today (21st), the government and the medical community met head-to-head with vaccination, and the medical consultation once again said, “If the amendment to the medical law is resolved by the judiciary committee this week, the cooperation system between the government and doctors related to vaccination will collapse. “I said. Even on the phone with us, the chairman of the Medical Association Choi Jeop insisted that vaccination is not a doctor’s duty, so the government cannot force you to do this. There are accusations of taking the vaccine as hostage over the law to disqualify the doctor for committing a crime.

“The state cannot force doctors to help with vaccination,” said Chairman Choi.

Vaccination is called’voluntary service’ as the doctor has to make extra time in addition to the basic work.
However, the ethics guidelines for doctors stipulate that’doctors must actively engage in relief for patients in the event of a large-scale infectious disease’.
Chairman Choi admitted that there are some flaws in the current license management system, which allows even the doctor who committed murder to maintain a license.
However, he insisted that doctors be able to discipline and manage themselves.

At the same time, the National Assembly Judiciary Committee, which will be held this week, said that if the amendment to the medical law is passed, a general strike will occur immediately.
[최대집/대한의사협회장 : 기존 진료 업무도 못 하게 되는데, 무슨 코로나19 진료 지원이나 백신 접종 업무 지원도 그게 되겠습니까.]
In response, Prime Minister Chung Sye-gyun said,’If illegal collective action becomes a reality, we will respond firmly.’
