With the vaccination of the new corona virus, Sapporo City is a medical institution that provides individual vaccinations, and has begun an initiative to introduce citizens who wish to be vaccinated so that the vaccine will not be wasted even if a sudden cancellation occurs.
Sapporo City is promoting "individual inoculation" at family medical institutions and "group inoculation" at venues set up by the city and Hokkaido.
Of these, in the case of individual vaccination, if the vaccine is suddenly canceled and the vaccine is left over, the medical institution must individually search for a person who wishes to receive the vaccine.
For this reason, Sapporo City began operating the "Vaccine Loss Zero Center" on the 1st, which introduces citizens who wish to receive the vaccine to medical institutions that have surplus vaccines on the same day.
Based on reports from medical institutions, every weekday at 3:00 pm, the number of people who can be vaccinated on the city's homepage or LINE official account will be posted, and if the person who wants it applies to the dedicated telephone counter by 4:00 pm , The center coordinates the medical institution that inoculates.
The target is citizens aged 16 and over who can receive the vaccination on the day, and in principle, those who have not yet received the vaccination ticket can apply.
Osamu Kato, General Manager of the Public Relations Department of Sapporo City, said, "We hope to make good use of valuable vaccines and help medical institutions as much as possible."
According to the city of Sapporo, on the first day of the first day, there were no medical institutions with surplus vaccines, and no adjustments were made by the center.
