A group of small and medium-sized enterprises in Mie Prefecture is planning to start inoculation of the new coronavirus vaccine in the workplace from July, but the vaccine supply schedule is only one tenth of the required amount at the moment, and future inoculation I'm worried about my plan.
The Mie Prefecture Small and Medium-sized Entrepreneurs Doyukai, which is created by the owners of small and medium-sized enterprises, has applied to the government for the implementation of occupational inoculation for a total of 1,000 employees, including employees of member companies.
On the 28th, a freezer for storing vaccines will arrive at the facility for the elderly in Yokkaichi City, which will be the vaccination site, and on the 30th, 200 vaccines will be delivered, and it has been decided to start vaccination from July 7. I will.
A total of 2000 vaccines are required for occupational vaccinations targeting at least 1000 people, but according to the Doyukai, the vaccine supply schedule is currently shown for only the first 200 doses. It means that it is only one tenth of the amount.
The Doyukai was planning to invite non-members working in the restaurant industry to participate in the occupational vaccination, but with the prospect of vaccine supply uncertain, I am worried about how to proceed with the vaccination in the future.
President Toshiya Hamanaka, who is a member of the Doyukai and runs a facility for the elderly, which is the venue for inoculation in the workplace, said, "I managed to make a list of 1000 people, but it is painful if the vaccine does not reach all. I want them to contribute to the community. "
