Only 217 people received their first COVID-19 vaccine shots on Sunday mainly because vaccination centers and medical facilities were closed or cut short their hours over the weekend.

Close to three-point-eight million people in South Korea have so far received at least one dose, with two million receiving AstraZeneca and one-point-seven million the Pfizer vaccine.

The figure represents seven-point-four percent of South Korea’s population of 51 million.

In the case of two-point-two million senior citizens aged 80 and older for whom vaccinations began on April 1, over 51 percent have received their first dose.

Meanwhile three-point-four percent of the population or some one-point-seven million, have been fully vaccinated with both shots, with the majority receiving the Pfizer vaccine.
