Training was held in Gamagori City, Aichi Prefecture, where nurses were trained to inject vaccines while moving so that elderly people and people with disabilities could be vaccinated with the new coronavirus smoothly. ..
This training was conducted by Gamagori City at a health center in the city in an attempt to reduce the burden on the elderly and people with disabilities by mass inoculation for some people.
Instead of having people who want to get vaccinated come to the injection booth, nurses plan to go around where the applicants are waiting and give injections.
After seeing a doctor, the participants sat at designated seats at intervals, received vaccinations, and checked the procedure from checking the progress at the seats to returning home.
In the city, this method is expected to reduce the burden of moving the person receiving the vaccination, and to disinfect the seat only once, so that the vaccination can be carried out efficiently.
A woman in her 70s who participated said, "It was easy because there was little movement. It may be less burdensome for people who have difficulty walking."
Mikako Ishiguro, director of the Gamagori City New Coronavirus Vaccination Promotion Office, said, "I would like to resolve the issues I learned this time, such as the division of roles of nurses, and strive for smooth vaccination."
