Reservations for the large-scale inoculation of the new coronavirus vaccine in Tokyo and Osaka will begin on the 17th.
The government wants to accelerate vaccination and lead to the completion of vaccination for the elderly by the end of July.
Acceptance area is gradually expanded
Reservations for large-scale inoculation centers to be opened by the government in Tokyo and Osaka will begin around 11:00 am for Tokyo and around 1:00 pm for Osaka.
To avoid confusion,
▽ 1 week from 17th is accepted only for elderly people aged 65 and over living in Tokyo's 23 wards and Osaka city,
▽ from 24th of this month, Tokyo and Osaka prefecture,
▽ from 31st of this month The target area for acceptance will be gradually expanded to 1 metropolitan area and 3 prefectures in Tokyo, Saitama, Chiba and Kanagawa, and 2 prefectures and 1 prefecture in Osaka, Kyoto and Hyogo.
Reservations can only be made online
Reservations can only be made online through the Ministry of Defense website or the communication app LINE, not by phone.
On the other hand, at the inoculation center, since the system is not connected to the local government, there is no mechanism to prevent double reservations, and if the reservations are duplicated, the vaccine may be wasted, the Ministry of Defense said We are calling for the prompt cancellation of your reservation.
The inoculation will be carried out by SDF personnel who are qualified as doctors and nurses from the 24th next week, and the maximum number of inoculations per day will be about 5,000 in Tokyo, about 2,500 in Osaka, and finally 1 in Tokyo. It is expected that 10,000 people will be able to reach 5,000 people in Osaka.
The government hopes to accelerate the inoculation by opening the center and to complete the inoculation of the elderly by the end of July together with the inoculation by the local government.
