The city of Yokohama began accepting reservations for mass inoculation of the new coronavirus vaccine on the 3rd, but it has been temporarily suspended due to the concentration of more access than expected.
The city has announced that it will resume reception from the 5th.
Yokohama City started accepting reservations for mass vaccinations for the elderly from 9 am on the 3rd, but access and telephone calls were concentrated on the dedicated site and call center, and it was accepted in just 45 minutes from the start. It was interrupted.
In Yokohama City, the number of elderly people to be vaccinated is about 970,000, which is the highest in all municipalities nationwide, and on the 3rd, we started accepting about 340,000 people aged 80 and over, but according to the city, It means that there were 2 million accesses per minute, which is about twice as much as expected, and it could not be processed.
In response to this, Yokohama City said that as a result of installing another server as a countermeasure, it became possible to process up to about three times the access during the most concentrated time of the three days, and made a reservation at the dedicated site and call center. Announced that it will resume accepting applications from 9 am on the 5th.
The city of Yokohama says, "At the beginning of resuming reservations, it is expected that inquiries and reservations will be concentrated. We will gradually expand the scale of inoculation, so please do not panic and make reservations."
