Regarding the vaccination of the new corona virus, the Japan Medical Association said that strengthening cooperation between local governments and local medical associations is indispensable for smooth progress, and cooperated maximally with requests from local governments such as securing doctors for mass vaccination. I issued a notice asking you to do so.
The notification of the Japan Medical Association was issued to the chairpersons of doctors in all prefectures nationwide on the 18th in the name of Chairman Nakagawa, and the medical association accelerated the inoculation with a strong sense of mission and set the course for convergence at once. It emphasizes that it is necessary to put it on.
The medical association is actively involved in securing doctors for group vaccinations in local governments, and the cooperation of as many "family doctors" as possible is indispensable for individual vaccinations.
In addition, we request the elderly who wish to receive the vaccination by the end of July to cooperate with the request from the local government as much as possible.
Minister of Internal Affairs and Communications and Minister of Health, Labor and Welfare also notify local governments nationwide
In accordance with the notification of the Japan Medical Association, Takeda Minister of Internal Affairs and Communications, in Tamura Minister of Health, Labor and Welfare and the joint names, 7 municipalities that do not stand the prospect to complete the vaccination of the elderly up to the end of the month, actively to the local medical association We have sent notices to prefectural governors and mayors of municipalities nationwide asking for cooperation.
Many local governments that responded to the government's survey that vaccinations will not be completed by the end of July have raised the issue of a shortage of medical staff to handle vaccinations. It means that there were cases where cooperation was not sufficient, such as not having a contact point between medical associations.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications said, "We will have the government and the Japan Medical Association work together to encourage cooperation between the two parties, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications will help resolve the shortage of vaccination leaders. I'm looking forward to that. "
