In Kobe City, where vaccination of the new coronavirus for the elderly will begin in earnest after the Golden Week holidays, staff members are returning holidays and preparing to set up an inoculation site.
In Kobe City, mass inoculation for the elderly is scheduled to begin on the 10th of this month at 11 venues in the city.
On the 3rd, 10 people, including city officials and workers, gathered in the office space on the 2nd floor of the Seishin Chuo Station building in Nishi Ward to prepare for the inoculation site.
The staff brought in desks and chairs and set up a temporary wall so that 20 people could be vaccinated every 30 minutes to prepare a place for vaccination.
Kobe City is planning to start inoculation for about 240,000 elderly people aged 75 and over, and started accepting reservations by phone or online last month.
Mr. Osamu Nagata, Chief of the Vaccine Countermeasures Office of the Kobe City Health Bureau, said, "We will proceed with preparations at a rapid pace even during consecutive holidays in time for the mass vaccination on the 10th. Vaccines are said to be the key to corona countermeasures, so there is no delay. We will proceed with preparations so that we can inoculate. "
