Regarding the new coronavirus vaccine, Chiba City has decided to suspend the acceptance of all new reservations from the 2nd, saying that the supply plan from the country is unclear and it is not possible to make a prospect of inoculation.
In Chiba City,
▽ individual vaccinations
are currently being given at
approximately 350 medical institutions, and
▽ mass vaccinations are being carried out at 3 locations,
all of which use Pfizer vaccines.
Chiba City had hoped for 140,400 doses for two weeks from the 19th of this month, but since the supply amount has not yet been shown by the national government and it is not possible to make a forecast for inoculation, it will be new from the 2nd. We have decided to suspend the acceptance of vaccination reservations.
Chiba City is currently inoculating people over the age of 60, but those who have already made reservations can be inoculated as planned.
Takashi Yamamoto, director of the Health and Welfare Bureau of Chiba City, said, "We have accelerated vaccination according to the national plan, but it is very disappointing because we thought that a vaccine commensurate with it would arrive. I want to resume reception as soon as possible. "
According to Chiba Prefecture, the supply of vaccines to local governments in the prefecture in the first half of this month was less than half of the desired amount, and the prefecture said, "There is a risk that other local governments will have to stop new reservations. There is. "
