While the new coronavirus vaccine is being inoculated to the elderly, Ono City, Hyogo Prefecture, is targeting employees under the age of 64, such as nursery schools and kindergartens, in order to avoid discarding the vaccine if reservations are canceled. I decided to inoculate.
In Ono City, vaccination of elderly people has started from this month, but if the reservation is canceled or the doctor decides that vaccination is not possible, there is a possibility that the vaccine will be left over.
To avoid discarding the vaccine in such cases, Ono City has decided to inoculate 16 nursery schools and kindergartens in the city, as well as employees under the age of 64 who work in children's institutes.
If the city has the potential to have a surplus of vaccine, but cannot inoculate another elderly person or health care worker, the person in charge will call a facility such as a nursery school near the inoculation site and tell them to come immediately. It is said.
According to the city, it is estimated that about 380 people will be targeted, and after collecting information such as name and date of birth in advance, it will start operation from next week.
Tomohiro Okamoto, director of the Ono City Citizens' Welfare Department, said, "I couldn't dispose of the surplus vaccine, so I thought about who to give priority to. I think that elderly people may not be able to come to the vaccine due to their physical condition or urgent need. I want to prepare on the premise that there will be cancellations. "
