Kawagoe City and Iruma City cannot confirm the refrigerated state of the new coronavirus vaccine stored at medical institutions due to the effects of power outages of more than 120,000 households in the western part of Saitama Prefecture from the night of the 28th to the early morning of the 29th. As a result, it was decided to discard it.
According to Kawagoe City, among the medical institutions in the city where the vaccine was stored due to the power outage, the refrigerated state of the vaccine for 486 times in total could not be confirmed at 4 places, so Kawagoe City said I decided to dispose of it.
Iruma City, which also suffered a power outage, decided to dispose of six vaccines, and Hanno City is checking the preservation status of vaccines at medical institutions.
