The next shipments of the Pfizer-BioNtech and AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccines are set to arrive in South Korea starting next Wednesday.

According to the government’s vaccine task force on Wednesday, the arrival dates have been fixed for shipments of 500-thousand Pfizer vaccine doses and one-point-05 million doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine.

The task force said half of the Pfizer vaccines will arrive next Wednesday, with the remainder to arrive the last week of this month.

These vaccines will be transferred to 22 vaccination sites, which will then begin inoculating elderly citizens aged 75 or older and people who work or live in senior care facilities from April 1.

The task force said the AstraZeneca vaccines, supplied through the UN-backed global COVAX Facility initiative, will arrive in two shipments starting in early April.

These doses will be provided to people aged 65 or older who work or live in long-term care hospitals.
