SEOUL (Reuters) -South Korea closed its first phase of reservations for Johnson and Johnson COVID-19 vaccines on Tuesday as military personnel signed up for all 800,000 shots on offer, the government said.<\/p>

South Korea received one million doses of the vaccine this week after the United States almost doubled a pledge made during President Moon Jae-in\u2019s first summit with U.S. President Joe Biden last month.<\/p>\n

Authorities designated the vaccine for military-related personnel, including reserve forces and the civil defence corps, as well as people planning overseas business trips or diplomatic missions.<\/p>\n

Around 3.7 million people are eligible to receive the single-dose vaccine and a total of 800,000 had signed up in less than 16 hours since reservations began on Tuesday, the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency (KDCA) said in a statement.<\/p>\n

The KDCA closed the reservations at 800,000 doses, but said others can book their shots when more vaccines are available.<\/p>\n

South Korea has inoculated 5.79 million people, or 11% of its population, with a first dose of the two-dose vaccines from AstraZeneca or Pfizer. It aims to vaccinate 14 million by the end of this month.<\/p>\n

It said the plan is on track as more vaccine shipments are due to arrive later this month and willingness to get vaccinated appears to be rising, lured by incentives.<\/p>\n

A survey in May showed 69.2% of respondents were willing to get vaccinated, up from 61.4% a month earlier, Lee Sang-won, a senior health official, told a briefing.<\/p>\n

The government on Tuesday allowed people who have received at least one dose to have family gatherings without restrictions and visit nursing homes.<\/p>\n

Those fully vaccinated will no longer be required to wear masks outdoors from July.<\/p>\n

The country has reported 459 new confirmed cases on Monday, bringing the total tally to 140,799 infections, with 1,963 deaths.<\/p>\n
