Vaccination 14 wards out of 23 wards of Tokyo The first time in 50s did not reach 50%

When NHK interviewed the 23 wards of Tokyo about the progress of the new coronavirus vaccination by age group, 18 wards responded that less than 50% of the people in their 50s completed the first vaccination. It amounted to about 80%.

Local governments are saying, "I want the country to show the outlook for vaccine supply as soon as possible."

Regarding the vaccination of the new corona, while the vaccination of elderly people is progressing, the issue is how to proceed with the vaccination of people in their 40s and 50s, who are pointed out to be "prone to become seriously ill" in the medical field.

Under these circumstances, when NHK interviewed the 23 wards of Tokyo, 18 wards answered the latest progress of inoculation by age group by the 3rd.

Of these, four wards had more than 50% of those in their 50s who completed the first vaccination, with Sumida ward 65%, Taito ward 56%, Chiyoda ward 54%, and Koto ward 53%. was.

On the other hand, the remaining 14 wards, which is 78%, answered that they did not reach 50%.

In addition, the number of people who completed the second vaccination was 31% in Sumida Ward, 23% in Chiyoda Ward, 22% in Itabashi Ward, and 21% in Toshima Ward, while 10 wards such as Setagaya Ward and Shibuya Ward were 1 It didn't reach the percentage.

Furthermore, in the 40s, only 58% of people in Sumida Ward exceeded 50% of those who completed the first vaccination.

In addition, no ward exceeded 30% of the respondents who completed the second vaccination, and 13 wards, which is 72% of the respondents, did not reach 10%.

In addition, there was no ward where more than 10% of people in their 20s completed the second vaccination.

In addition, Shinjuku Ward, Nakano Ward, Suginami Ward, and Ota Ward replied that "the inoculation status is not tabulated by detailed age group", and Katsushika Ward replied that "it has not been announced at this time."

I also heard that the government says, "By the end of this month, more than 60% of all people will finish the first vaccination, and more than 40% will aim to finish the second vaccination." , 6 wards such as Bunkyo Ward and Sumida Ward answered that they "cannot see the achievement", while 74% of the other 17 wards answered that they "cannot see the achievement".

The reasons for "not seeing the achievement" were that the supply of vaccines from the national government was reduced, and that it was difficult for the ward to grasp the implementation status of occupational vaccinations.

In addition, when asked if the vaccination plan was changed due to the delay in vaccine supply, 21 wards, 91% of the total, answered that they had changed, reducing the number of mass vaccination venues and the number of reservations that can be made. , It means that we have taken measures such as reducing the number of vaccines supplied to medical institutions that cooperate with individual vaccination.

Regarding issues and requests to the country in advancing vaccination, many people requested that the country show the supply amount and schedule of vaccines as soon as possible, and provide correct information so that young people can consider vaccination. There was also a request to do it.

Koto Ward About half of the first inoculations completed this month are in short supply

As the government aims to complete the first vaccination of the new coronavirus vaccine in more than 60% of all people by the end of this month, the amount of vaccine reaching the ward is decreasing in Koto Ward, Tokyo. Therefore, it is expected that only about half of the patients will be able to complete the first vaccination within this month.

According to Koto Ward, the supply of vaccines from the country since the 19th of last month has remained at about 50% to 60% of the requested amount.

The government says, "We aim to have more than 60% of all people finish the first vaccination by the end of this month," but in Koto Ward, there is no prospect of achieving 60%, and about half. Expected to stay.

Due to the decrease in vaccine supply, the ward is reducing the number of reservations accepted at the mass vaccination site, making it difficult to make reservations for people under the age of 30 and not being able to make reservations for the second vaccination. There are about 5,000 people.

In addition, due to the decrease in vaccine supply, the policy is to cancel vaccination at the largest mass vaccination site in the ward in the middle of this month, and by the end of this month, the reservation limit for mass vaccination will be one sixth of the plan. That is.

"I'm sorry for the inhabitants of the ward because they can't accept reservations due to lack of vaccine," said Shoji Nemoto, chief of vaccination management in Koto Ward. I want you to know the outlook. "
