Before the mass inoculation of the new coronavirus vaccine to the elderly began, Fukuoka City conducted training for doctors and nurses to confirm the inoculation procedure.
The training conducted in Fukuoka City is supposed to start in earnest next month for mass inoculation of elderly people, and after reception, a series of procedures in which a doctor examines and a nurse inoculates a vaccine confirmed.
In addition, assuming that severe allergic symptoms called "anaphylaxis" occurred after the inoculation, we confirmed the procedure for the doctor to treat the affected person and transport it to the hospital.
According to the city, after vaccination, many people stayed in the waiting area to observe the progress, and other issues were found, so we will consider measures in the future.
Fukuoka City will start inoculation to elderly people engaged in local welfare activities from this month, and will distribute vaccination tickets widely from next month to start mass inoculation in earnest.
Koichi Moriyama, chief of the new coronavirus vaccination department in Fukuoka City, said, "We have found some issues, but we have also confirmed that doctors, nurses, and other participants are responding appropriately to various situations. I would like to proceed with mass inoculation while coordinating with the national government so that vaccines can be secured. "
