As preparations for vaccination against the new coronavirus are underway, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology will encourage the Board of Education nationwide to actively cooperate if there is a request to use a school gymnasium as the vaccination site. Notified to.
The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare is preparing to start vaccination of the vaccine developed by Pfizer as soon as possible from the end of this month, ahead of healthcare professionals.
Under these circumstances, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology received a request from the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, and if there was a request from the local government to use school facilities such as gymnasiums and cultural facilities as inoculation venues, it would be proactive. I notified you on the 1st to cooperate with.
In this, we request cooperation with the department in charge of vaccination so that the original activities of the venue facility will be carried out as much as possible.
Especially for schools, we are requesting consideration so that the educational activities of children and students will not be hindered, and we often do not fix the venue to a specific school for a long period of time or carry out educational activities in cooperation with neighboring schools. From the viewpoint of infection prevention and crime prevention, we are encouraging people to clarify the flow lines and areas of use.
The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology says, "Securing a venue for vaccination is an important issue, and we would like to ask for your cooperation so that you can use the facility while devising ways to prevent the educational activities of children and students from being hindered."
