Choshi City, Chiba Prefecture, has begun accepting reservations for mass inoculation of the new coronavirus vaccine for the elderly, but it has been difficult to make reservations due to the flood of telephone calls, and some elderly people are rushing to the city hall. I have decided to change to the application at.
In Choshi City, Chiba Prefecture, from the 26th of last month, reservations for mass vaccinations for the elderly were limited to those aged 75 and over this year, and we started accepting reservations over six telephone lines.
However, it was not easy to get a flood of telephone calls, and some elderly people rushed to the department in charge of the city hall, so it was said that 726 people who visited the window in a hurry for the next three days accepted reservations on the spot. That is.
However, due to protests such as "unfairness" that was not known to the public, it was announced that the reservation by phone and window would be suspended and the application would be changed to a new application by mail on the 13th. ..
From the end of this month, about 9,000 people who have not made reservations will be sent a postcard with the desired venue etc. and returned, and the city side will contact you by specifying the date and time.
The Choshi City Health Promotion Division says, "I'm sorry for giving the residents a sense of unfairness and distrust of the city. I would like to make efforts to ensure smooth inoculation in a new way."
