Reservations for the new coronavirus vaccination at large-scale venues set up by the government in Tokyo and Osaka began on the 17th.
About 25 minutes after the reception started, the reservations for the first week were filled up at the venue in Osaka, and the reception was closed.
We have summarized the reservation method and precautions.
Vaccination at a large-scale venue set up by the government is scheduled to begin on the 24th of this month, and reservations have begun to be accepted on the 17th.
To make a reservation, you need the information of the number written on the vaccination ticket, and you can make a reservation only for those who have not received the first vaccination.
In addition, reservations are accepted only on the Internet through the Ministry of Defense website and the communication app LINE.
According to the Ministry of Defense, the venue in Osaka can be reserved as of the 17th for the week from the 24th to the 30th of this month, a total of 25,000 cases, about 25 minutes after starting acceptance around 1 pm It means that everything has been filled and acceptance has ended.
On the other hand, so far there have been no major problems with reservations.
In order to avoid confusion such as problems due to concentrated access, the target area for acceptance is to be gradually expanded, and from the 17th to the 1st week, elderly people living in the 23 wards of Tokyo and Osaka City, from the 24th of this month One week in Tokyo and Osaka prefectures, all elderly people, and one week from 31st of this month, one metropolitan area and three prefectures in Tokyo, Saitama, Chiba and Kanagawa, and two prefectures in Osaka, Kyoto and Hyogo. It is intended for elderly people living in the prefecture.
[How to make a reservation for large-scale inoculation]
Inoculation at large-scale venues will be held for 3 months until the end of August, and reservations will be made until June 6th, with the following schedule.
Reservations can be made during this period for seniors over the age of 65.
From the 17th to the 23rd of this month, people living in the 23 wards of Tokyo and Osaka can make reservations from the 24th of this month to the 30th of this month.
However, on the 17th, reservations for this period were filled up for the Osaka venue, and acceptance was closed.
People living in both Tokyo and Osaka can make reservations from the 24th to the 30th of this month, and can make reservations from the 31st to the 6th of June this month.
From the 31st of this month to the 6th of next month, people living in 1 prefecture of Tokyo, Saitama, Chiba and Kanagawa and 2 prefectures of Osaka, Kyoto and Hyogo can make reservations from 7th to 13th next month. You can reserve up to minutes.
For the following period, even if you do not have a resident card, you can make a reservation for elderly people living in these areas.
In addition to the vaccination ticket, they are considering confirming the actual living conditions by having them show the mail with the address written on it.
In addition, the Ministry of Defense will target not only elderly people but also people with underlying illnesses and staff working in facilities for the elderly who have received vaccination tickets from local governments, and the details will be decided as soon as the details are decided. I will announce it.
For large-scale inoculations conducted by the government, reservations for the first inoculation are accepted only on the Internet, but for the second inoculation, the date and time will be specified at the venue for the first inoculation.
Moderna vaccines that the government is considering using to get a second dose at the right time will usually be given a second dose four weeks after the first dose. Therefore, the inoculation date will be decided based on these facts.
Vaccination at large-scale venues, which started accepting reservations from the 17th, does not have a mechanism to prevent double reservations with local governments.
This is because the system for managing reservations is not connected to the local government, and according to the Ministry of Defense, the system for accepting reservations differs depending on the local government, so cooperation is not possible.
When making a reservation, the Ministry of Defense reconfirms that the local government has not reserved the vaccination, saying that the vaccine may be wasted or that the person who should have been able to make a reservation may be postponed. If you wish to receive vaccination at a large venue after making a reservation with the local government, we are always calling for you to cancel the reservation with the local government.
For vaccination of the new coronavirus at a large-scale venue, the vaccination ticket sent by the local government is required when making a reservation.
You need to enter the number printed on the vaccination ticket along with your date of birth on a dedicated internet site.
Inoculation for the elderly started last month, but some local governments will give priority to inoculation from those with high risk, and will gradually issue inoculation tickets by dividing the age, such as "First of all, 75 years old or older". Some are sending it.
[Inoculation ticket] Tokyo's 23 wards 7 wards are not in time
According to an interview with the 23 wards of Tokyo, where reservations for large-scale inoculations have begun, about one-third of the seven wards are covered by vaccinations among the elderly who will be 65 years of age or older during the current fiscal year. I found that some people did not receive the ticket.
The national large-scale vaccination is aimed at elderly people who will be 65 years old or older by the end of this year who have vaccination tickets, but in the 23 wards of Tokyo, vaccinations for elderly people conducted by each local government are older. There are also places where we go in order.
For this reason, some elderly people have not yet received their vaccination tickets, and there are cases where complaints are being made to the ward one after another.
When NHK interviewed the 23 wards of Tokyo, it was in 7 wards of Chiyoda, Chuo, Ota, Arakawa, Katsushika, Shinjuku, and Nerima, and was 65 years old or older by the 17th. It turned out that some of the elderly people who became ill have not received the voucher.
Of these, five wards, Chiyoda Ward, Chuo Ward, Ota Ward, Arakawa Ward, and Katsushika Ward, were unable to advance the vaccination ticket shipping schedule from the original plan.
Shinjuku Ward and Nerima Ward have advanced their shipping plans, but they haven't made it in time.
On the other hand, the remaining 16 wards answered that they had received the vaccination ticket by the 17th, and of these, 3 wards, Shinagawa, Meguro, and Itabashi, said that the shipping schedule was ahead of schedule. That is.
The other 13 wards originally had a schedule for sending vaccination tickets in time.
Of these, Shinjuku Ward and Chuo Ward decided to distribute the vaccination ticket to those who want it earlier, while Katsushika Ward cannot change the printing schedule of the vaccination ticket, so at the moment, it is better than the original plan. It is said that it cannot be distributed first, and the response is different depending on the local government.
Date designation Joetsu City's efforts to attract attention
With regard to the vaccination of the new coronavirus for the elderly, it is difficult to make reservations nationwide, and Joetsu City, Niigata Prefecture, will proceed smoothly by setting the vaccination date in advance and notifying the elderly. I am.
Regarding the vaccination of the new coronavirus for the elderly, there are a number of situations in which reservations cannot be made due to system failures or a flood of telephone calls.
Under these circumstances, in Joetsu City, out of about 61,500 elderly people aged 65 and over, about 32,500 people who wish to receive a mass vaccination will be vaccinated twice and the venue will be decided according to their place of residence. Elderly people can get vaccinated if they go to the venue at the designated date and time.
This saves you the trouble and trouble of making reservations over the phone or the Internet, and hasn't caused any confusion so far.
A man in his 70s who received the vaccination said, "I have to ask my child to send me online, so I'm grateful if you can send me a date."
Sanae Otaki, director of the new coronavirus vaccination office in Joetsu City, said, "Since some elderly people have difficulty making reservations using the system, we decided to use this method to prevent omission of vaccination."
In Joetsu City, the inoculation of elderly people is scheduled to be completed by the end of July.
