In Osaka City, inoculation of the new corona vaccine to the elderly began on the 14th for residents of facilities for the elderly.
Vaccination of the elderly in Osaka City began on the 14th for more than 40,000 people in the facility.
At the Long-Term Care Health Facility in Hirano Ward, 10 residents aged 71 to 91 were vaccinated in the conference room of the facility.
I had submitted a pre-examination slip in advance to see if I had any problems with my physical condition, and each of the residents entered the venue one by one and received an injection from a doctor into my arm.
More than 80 people at this facility are expected to complete their second vaccination by mid-next month.
Dr. Hideo Nakazawa, the director of the facility, said, "I'm glad I was able to finish the vaccination without any problems. I think that vaccination will start at other facilities one after another, but I want to proceed with the vaccination safely so that I can refer to it." I did.
A 72-year-old woman who received the vaccination said, "I am grateful that I can meet my family with peace of mind after receiving the vaccination. My arm hurts a little, but my physical condition has not changed."
Osaka City has announced a policy of accepting reservations for mass vaccinations for elderly people living at home from the middle of next month and starting from the week of the 24th of next month.
