Will use of leftover vaccines for second shot help curb ever-growing cases?

The government has decided to allow the use of leftover COVID-19 vaccines for second shots, in a bid to speed up its vaccination drive amid the unrelenting increases in coronavirus infections nationwide.
국내 코로나19 확진자 수가 증가하는 가운데 정부는 백신 접종 속도를 높이기 위해 잔여 백신을 2차 접종에 활용하기로 결정했다.


Leftover vaccines refer to spare doses that have become available after someone canceled or did not show up for their appointment.
여분의 백신들이라 알려진 잔여 백신은 접종 예약자가 취소했거나 접종 장소에 나타나지 않아 이용이 가능한 백신이다.


Eligible recipients can book the slot for a "no show" vaccine through a real-time search system on Kakao and Naver.
접종 대상자는 카카오와 네이버의 실시간 백신 검색 시스템을 통해 "잔여" 백신을 예약할 수 있다.


Starting Friday, second doses can be booked through the leftover vaccine reservation system, according to the COVID-19 Vaccination Taskforce.
코로나19 예방접종대응추진단에 따르면 금요일부터 2차 접종은 잔여 백신 예약 시스템을 통해 예약할 수 있다.


Previously, the leftover doses had not been available for second shots.
이전에는 2차 접종을 위해 잔여 백신을 사용하지는 않았다.


In addition, the government has decided to shorten the dosing interval for people booking the leftover vaccines.
더 나아가 정부는 잔여 백신을 예약하는 접종자들을 위해 접종 간격을 줄이기로 결정했다.


While the gap between two shots of the mRNA vaccines ― Pfizer and Moderna ― is set at six weeks, people can reserve leftover doses three weeks after receiving a first shot of the Pfizer vaccine or four weeks after the Moderna vaccine.
화이자와 모더나 두 mRNA 백신의 간격은 6주로 설정되어 있으나 화이자의 경우 1차 접종일로부터 3주 이후, 모더나는 4주 이후에 잔여 백신을 예약할 수 있다.


But the health authorities noted that recipients who are not booking their second shots through the leftover booking system will still get their second dose six weeks later.
그러나 보건 당국은 1차 접종자들이 잔여 백신 예약 시스템을 통해 2차 접종을 예약하지 않아도 6주 후 2차 접종을 받을 수 있다고 밝혔다.


Such changes to the policy are expected to enable more people to get their second shots ahead of schedule.
이러한 정책적 변화들로 인해 사람들이 계획보다 일찍 접종 받는 것이 가능해질 것으로 예상된다.


The COVID-19 spreading across the country is showing no signs of abating, with the number of daily new infections hovering around 2,000.
국내 코로나19 전파 속도는 일일 신규 확진자 수가 약 2,000명을 맴도는 것과 함께 줄어들 기세를 보이지 않는다.


The KDCA reported 2,008 new cases for Thursday, including 1,973 local infections, raising the aggregated total to 281,938. The figure has stayed above 1,000 for more than two months.
수요일 질병관리청은 국내 확진자 1,973명을 포함한 일일 신규 확진자가 2,008명이라고 보고했다. 수요일 기준 확진자는 281,938명이다. 지난 두 달 이상 동안 1,000명 이상의 수치를 기록했다.
