The health authorities said that it is possible to quickly introduce COVID-19 vaccine supplied from the COVAX Facility.

This is because the MFDS has been participating in the COVAX Facility vaccine joint review since October at the request of the WHO. Pfizer's vaccine was pre-verified on the 31st of last month when the WHO approved Emergency Use Authorization. This is why the government believes that rapid vaccination is possible by receiving the Pfizer vaccine from the COVAX Facility in early February.

The MFDS announced in a report from the President on the 25th that it is participating in the joint review of the COVAX Facility’s COVID-19 vaccine at the request of the WHO in October.
