Kang Min-seok Spokesperson Emphasizes the Significance of Starting COVID-19 Vaccinations... "Director Kim Yoon-tae Leads by Example Volunteering for Vaccination"
[Asia Economy Reporter Ryu Jeong-min] Kang Min-seok, the spokesperson for the Blue House, stated during the Chuncheon Press Briefing on the afternoon of the 26th, "Vaccinations have started today. This is a historic first step toward the recovery of daily life emphasized by the President in his New Year's address."
Spokesperson Kang explained, "There is no longer any need to debate who the first vaccine recipient is," adding, "Everyone is the first vaccine recipient."
Spokesperson Kang said, "There is a reason why Kim Yoon-tae, director of Purme Nexus Children's Rehabilitation Hospital, was the first to be vaccinated at Mapo Public Health Center," and explained, "Children are excluded from the vaccination target group. Their immune systems are more vulnerable than adults. To protect children, the immunity of healthcare workers at children's hospitals is necessary."
Spokesperson Kang conveyed, "Director Kim Yoon-tae understood this well and voluntarily took the lead in getting vaccinated," adding, "He said that having been unable to actively provide medical care for over a year, he now feels he can offer more proactive treatment and care after vaccination."
Spokesperson Kang evaluated, "Symbolically, the significance lies not in one person, but in the fact that people across the country, including nursing facilities, simultaneously rolled up their sleeves."
