The city of Kyoto has decided to start preferential vaccination of pregnant women and their spouses, saying that the number of people infected with the new corona is increasing rapidly and that pregnant women who are about to give birth are also at increased risk of infection.
Priority inoculation to pregnant women is a risk of infection due to the problem of the baby dying due to premature birth at home without finding a hospitalization destination for pregnant women infected with the new coronavirus in Chiba Prefecture, and the rapid increase in the number of infected young people in the city. The city of Kyoto decided to implement it in response to the increase in the number of people.
The subjects are pregnant women and their spouses who have been issued a Mother and Child Handbook, and those who have not yet received the first vaccination.
Pregnant women who are planning to give birth after returning home are also eligible.
Reservations will be accepted from the 21st, and you will be told that you are pregnant when you contact the general call center where you apply for a mass vaccination in the city.
Then, listen to the desired venue and time zone, and make adjustments so that inoculation can be given priority.
Priority inoculation is expected to start on the 28th.
Pregnant women are said to be more likely to become ill when infected in the latter half of pregnancy, and the Japanese Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology reports that there is no difference in the frequency of miscarriage and premature birth even if pregnant women are vaccinated, regardless of the time of pregnancy. We recommend vaccination, and the city of Kyoto is also calling for vaccination.
