Prior to vaccination, the doctor will carefully examine whether the patient has ever experienced a severe allergic reaction,’anaphylaxis’, has a fever of 37.5 degrees or higher, or has no symptoms such as coughing or sore throat. The vaccinator should check for adverse reactions without leaving for 15-30 minutes after receiving the vaccine.
In nursing hospitals where doctors reside, you can get the vaccine directly in the hospital. On the other hand, in nursing homes for the elderly and mental rehabilitation facilities where doctors do not reside, the health center visit team or a doctor who has contracted with the facility will visit the facility in person and inoculate it according to a fixed schedule. The health center visit team consists of 1 doctor, 1 nurse, and 2 administrative personnel.
The ‘1 vaccination person’ is expected to come out of nursing hospitals and facilities according to the original policy. In a briefing the previous day, the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC) chief said, “Although it means’No. 1 vaccination’, both workers and residents of (nursing hospitals or nursing care) facilities are eligible for the first vaccination.”
