South Korea secures COVID-19 vaccines for 44 million people

South Korea has ordered coronavirus vaccines for 44 million people. The government has signed deals with four drugmakers -- Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson's Janssen. The shipments will arrive in 2021. Rules surrounding dry ice have also been eased as it is crucial to keep the vaccines cold. South Korea will also get another 10 million doses through COVAX, the World Health Organization’s global vaccine project. Altogether, they will be enough to cover about 88% of the country’s 51 million people.
