Reservation for the new coronavirus vaccination for the elderly began on the 10th in Fukushima City.

Part-time college students who support online reservations have been assigned to the city hall, etc., but many elderly people have visited and are unable to handle them.

Fukushima City has started accepting vaccination reservations for the general elderly by phone and online at 9 am on the 10th.



The main government building and four branch offices of Fukushima City Hall have part-time college students who help make reservations for people who are unfamiliar with the Internet.

By 11:00 am, more than 70 elderly people had visited the main government building, where the two students were stationed, and in a hurry, the city staff helped, but they were unable to respond.



The reservation site was in a state where access was concentrated and it was difficult to connect, so work was delayed and many people were waiting to wait in line.



About an hour and a half after the reservations started, a woman in her 80s who was waiting in the lobby said, "I want to get the vaccine for a little peace of mind, so I've been waiting 30 minutes before the start. I'm surprised because it's not over. "



Kazuki Kanazawa, a third-year student at Fukushima University, said, "I want to help the elderly as much as possible, and I have lost my part-time job due to the influence of the new coronavirus, so I decided to participate. I want to teach you in an easy-to-understand manner." I did.
