Regarding the vaccination of the new coronavirus for the elderly, Prime Minister Suga has indicated that he will work to finish it by the end of July.
Opposition parties such as the Constitutional Democratic Party held a meeting to hear about the current situation of vaccination from the person in charge of Kofu City.
In this situation, the city official said that Prime Minister Suga was "surprised to know from the press without prior contact from the government," and that the inoculation of medical staff has not progressed sufficiently. He said it would be difficult to finish vaccination for the elderly by the end of July.
In response to this, the opposition party said, "I think Prime Minister Suga said that it was the end of July without any grounds without considering the actual situation of the local government," while the government side said. He just stated, "I would like to hear from the local government about issues and provide necessary support."
