February 25, 2021 AP – South Korea’s top infectious disease experts warned that vaccines will not bring the disease to a quick end and called for continued vigilance in social distancing and mask wearing as the country prepares to give its first shots tomorrow. Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency Director Jeong Eun-kyeong said yesterday it would take a “considerably long time” before the mass vaccination campaign brings the virus under control. The country aims to vaccinate over 70 per cent of the population by November. But a safe return to a life without masks is highly unlikely this year, considering various factors including the growing spread of virus variants, Korea University Ansan Hospital infectious disease professor Choi Won Suk said.
