2022.09.01
South Korea on Thursday started taking reservations for South Koreas first COVID-19 vaccine developed by a domestic firm, SK Bioscience.
Adults aged 18 and older can make reservations for the country’s first homegrown vaccine if they have not completed the primary vaccination series.
Those who make reservations will be able to get the vaccine from Sept. 13. Public health centers and local hospitals will also use the vaccine from Monday.
The Ministry of Health and Welfare explained that people who are worried about side effects of existing mRNA vaccines can take the SK Bioscience vaccine, which is produced through genetic recombination technology.
