On the 21st, the mayors' association of 20 ordinance-designated cities nationwide requested the Minister of Regulatory Reform Kono to strategically supply vaccines for the new coronavirus to designated cities with a large population and a large number of infected people.
On the 21st, Mayor Fumiko Hayashi of Yokohama City, who is the head of the "New Coronavirus Infectious Disease Control Headquarters" of the ordinance-designated city mayor's association, conveyed the request to Minister Kono at a video conference.
In this, Mayor Hayashi said, "Ordinance-designated cities have a large population and many infected people. It is extremely important for smooth and prompt vaccination in designated cities for convergence."
In addition,
▽ strategically supply vaccines to designated cities and
▽ show the supply schedule in detail.
In addition,
I asked them to consider making vaccinations possible at work and at universities.
In response, Minister Kono said, "In a place with a large population, how much speed can be achieved is greatly related to the overall schedule, so the national government wants to provide full support. After the Golden Week holidays, 10 million doses of vaccine will be given every week. Will be delivered to the necessary places, including designated cities. We would like to support the government in securing the inoculation system. "
