In Ebina City, Kanagawa Prefecture, paramedics who received prior training began vaccination of elderly people from the 1st.
According to the city, vaccination by paramedics is considered to be the first in the country.
Regarding the vaccination of the new corona virus, paramedics and clinical laboratory technicians are allowed to inoculate as a special case only when the necessary doctors cannot be secured at the mass inoculation site. We have conducted training for 42 paramedics of firefighting.
And on the 1st, three of them were vaccinated for the first time at the mass vaccination site.
The paramedics, in pairs with the nurse, proceeded with the inoculation after confirming with the visiting citizens whether there were any mistakes in their physical condition or the results of the interview.
According to Ebina City, etc., paramedics are considered to be the first in the country to be in charge of vaccination.
From now on, 42 paramedics will take turns in charge of inoculation.
A woman in her 70s who received the vaccination said, "This is the second vaccination, but I didn't feel any difference from the nurse who had been vaccinated before."
Mr. Takeshi Inokuma, an emergency medical technician who participated in the vaccination, said, "Thanks to the prior training, I was able to face the vaccination without anxiety. I would like to cooperate to get closer to the convergence of the corona." ..
