Jangan District Jeongja 3-dong Provides Influenza Vaccinations for Seniors

The Jeongja 3-dong Community Center in Jangan District (Director Lee Byung-ki) conducted influenza vaccinations on the 28th to help seniors and residents in the area stay healthy during winter.

The influenza vaccination program targeted seniors aged 65 and older, persons with disabilities (grades 1-3), basic livelihood security recipients, and veterans of national merit. To minimize congestion during morning hours, vaccination times were staggered by apartment complex, with individual notifications provided to 2,769 eligible residents, allowing the vaccination to proceed smoothly without significant crowding.

Despite the vaccination date being later than other districts, approximately 1,300 eligible residents received the vaccination, resulting in a vaccination rate exceeding 50%.

Ham Gwang-ja, 71, who received the vaccination that day, said, "Unlike previous years, this time there was no major congestion, and I didn't have to wait long, which was great."

Eligible residents who missed this vaccination can receive additional vaccinations at the Jangan District Health Center through the end of this month by bringing their identification cards.
