With the spread of the new coronavirus, the government has declared a state of emergency and demanded that people refrain from going out unnecessarily, and the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare is calling for vaccinations for infants as planned.
While a state of emergency based on the Special Measures Law is being issued to 1 metropolitan area and 3 prefectures, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare has stated that excessive refraining from seeing medical institutions may increase health risks. Is calling attention.
In particular, vaccinations for infants are timed based on the age at which they are susceptible to infectious diseases, so if vaccinations are not made on schedule, the risk of serious infectious diseases increases.
In addition, we are calling for infant health checkups to be taken on a regular basis as it is a valuable opportunity not only to check the health status of children but also to consult with specialists about child-rearing concerns.
Furthermore, since there are almost no subjective symptoms such as "early cancer", regular medical examinations are indispensable for prompt treatment.
According to the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, "Infection measures such as disinfection and ventilation are thoroughly implemented at medical institutions and medical examination venues. I want you to receive medical treatment. "
