The Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC) asked on the 12th that those born in 2018 who are about to enter elementary school should complete four types of mandatory vaccinations and those born in 2012 who are about to enter middle school.
Those who are expected to enter elementary school should receive four types: DTaP (diphtheria/tephastric/white sun), IPV (polio) 4, MMR (measles/epidemic mumps/rubella), and Japanese encephalitis (fourth inactivated vaccine or second attenuated live vaccine).
Those who are expected to enter middle school should receive the 6th dose of Tdap (tidal wind/diphtheria/white sun), Japanese encephalitis (the 5th dose of inactivated vaccine or the 2nd dose of attenuated live vaccine), and female students should also receive the 1st dose of HPV (human papillomavirus infection).
The Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has designated and supported essential vaccination items to prevent infectious diseases and protect students' health, and since 2001, it has been working with the Ministry of Education to check the records of mandatory vaccinations for enrolled students every year to encourage them to complete vaccinations.
Elementary and middle school students entering this year can check their vaccination details on the vaccination assistant website and get vaccinated free of charge at nearby health centers or entrusted medical institutions if they are not vaccinated. If the computer registration is omitted even after completing the vaccination, you can request the vaccinated medical institution to register it.
However, if a medical staff diagnosed him/her as a vaccination prohibited person, he/she may request the diagnosed medical institution to register the computer of 'reasons for prohibition of vaccination'. If a medical institution does not use the integrated vaccination management system, receive a medical certificate, etc. stating the reasons for prohibition of vaccination, request the ▲ Health Center for computer registration, or ▲ After entering the school
You can submit it.
Meanwhile, the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will send a notice to the guardians of students who have not completed vaccination before admission in the middle of this month to encourage vaccination.
Deputy Prime Minister and Education Minister Lee Ju-ho said, `We hope you will complete the essential vaccinations necessary to meet your new friends safely before you enter the school.'
Director of the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Ji Young-mi thanked parents for their active participation in national vaccinations"If you have not yet completed the vaccination, visit a nearby entrusted medical institution and consult with the medical staff before completing the vaccination," he said.
