Vaccination against the new coronavirus will begin in February, targeting healthcare professionals, and is expected to begin in April, starting with the elderly.
Yokohama has a population of more than 3.75 million, which is the largest among municipalities nationwide, and at the meeting on the 16th, Mayor Fumiko Hayashi said that there are about 930,000 elderly people aged 65 and over in the city. In addition to group vaccinations, we have shown a policy of combining individual vaccinations at family doctors and vaccinations at facilities for the elderly.
Of these, in the case of mass inoculation, it is assumed that about half will be accepted, and in early March, training will be conducted to check the layout and flow lines using the actual venue.
In addition, the vaccination tickets required for reservations will be shipped in order from the older people from late March to mid-April, and a call center will be set up next month to accept reservations.

With the cooperation of medical institutions, reservations can be made from smartphones and personal computers as well as by telephone. However, I want to proceed quickly and smoothly. "
