“When-what kind of vaccine can I get?”… Corona Vaccination Q&A

-From next month, vaccinations for the novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19) will begin sequentially in Korea. According to the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s comprehensive plan, which was released on the 28th, the most curious points related to vaccination were summarized.

―When will I know the timing of my vaccination?
“The approximate timing of vaccination for priority vaccination targets, such as the elderly and chronically ill, was revealed on the 28th. In the case of vaccination at the relevant facility, such as those who have entered the priority vaccination facility or workers, the facility will notify the target person at a time when the time comes. In general, you will receive a text or phone notice from the health authorities when your vaccination time comes. The government plans to make it available through the’Corona 19 Vaccination Information’ website or call center (to be built).”

―Can I choose the type of vaccine to be right?
“The individual has no choice. Since vaccines are delivered sequentially, the government plans to designate vaccination targets for each vaccine in consideration of the quantity and priority of vaccination. The same goes for other countries. There are domestic and foreign studies that show that the efficacy of each vaccine is different or that some vaccines are more effective for a specific age, but experts say that no information is clear due to the short development and vaccination period. The so-called’cross vaccination’ that is given the 2nd B vaccine after the 1st A vaccine is also prohibited.”

―If I leave the hospital after the first vaccination, where do I get the second vaccination?
“When the time comes for the second vaccination, you can make a reservation in advance using the vaccination website or call center.” ―Can I get a fever on the day of vaccination?
“If you have acute symptoms such as fever (37.5 degrees or more) on the day of vaccination, you should adjust your appointment. It is possible to postpone vaccination for personal reasons. However, if you refuse to receive vaccinations and do not make an appointment within the deadline or do not comply with repeated notices, vaccinations will be pushed to the next level.”


―If I forgot the timing of the 2nd vaccination, should I get it again?
“You don’t have to inoculate from the first dose again. Instead, you should get your second dose as soon as possible. Call the call center, etc. to disclose the delay and make an appointment again.” ―Can I recommend vaccination to my father in his 70s with diabetes?
“The government will determine the underlying disease and health status of the subject in detail before vaccination. You can get the vaccination if the medical staff has determined that it is okay through an interview before vaccination. However, you should take enough rest before and after the vaccination, and make sure you and your family “watch your condition carefully.” -He is a cure for Corona 19. There must be antibodies, but should I get inoculated?
“People who once had Corona 19 and were cured should also receive vaccinations as much as possible. However, experts recommend that the vaccination should be given at least 90 days after cure. This is because the treatment administered during the treatment period can interfere with the immune response of the COVID-19 vaccine.”

―I have to go abroad in a hurry because of an important export contract, can I increase the timing of vaccination?
”If you are required to leave the country for an emergency due to essential public service and important economic activities, and the country requires a vaccination certificate, you must submit detailed reasons to the relevant department. The schedule can be extended if approved by the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention after examination by the competent ministry. However, such emergency vaccinations will be implemented from the second quarter. The vaccination certificate will be issued online through the immunization information website or’Government 24′.”

―Can I get corona 19 again even if I get the vaccine?
”Generally, the period for the formation of protective antibodies after vaccination is known to be 7 to 14 days after the second vaccination. In the meantime, you can get Corona 19. Since the vaccine is not 100% effective, it is possible for some people to get it after the antibody formation period. For this reason, even if you are vaccinated, you must follow precautionary rules such as wearing a mask and keeping distance until the COVID-19 outbreak is completely controlled.”
