In May, 69,000 elderly people aged 65 and over will be prioritized for vaccination, followed by vaccinations for the general population (ages 18-64) starting in July.

Vaccinations will be provided free of charge from May at the Guro-gu vaccination center located at the Guro-gu Community Center and nearby local clinics and hospitals.

Guro-gu will actively provide information on vaccination targets and schedules through the district office website, newsletters, and SNS to ensure residents can receive vaccinations with confidence.
