While the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare has indicated that it will consider whether to resume the call for active vaccination against uterine cervical cancer, plaintiffs in the trial alleging side reactions have submitted a statement of opposition.
After the uterine cervical cancer vaccine was added to the regular vaccination in 2013, many women complained of physical pain, and the call for active vaccination was stopped.
The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare has indicated that it will decide whether or not to resume vaccination with the new coronavirus after deliberation by experts.
In response, plaintiffs and lawyers, who have filed class action proceedings against the government and pharmaceutical companies seeking payment of medical expenses, met in Tokyo on the 3rd and opposed the resumption of the call for vaccination. Was submitted to the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare.
Attorney Masumi Mizuguchi, co-representative of the defense team, said, "The damage caused by the side reaction is serious and no cure has been established yet. It is clear that the number of victims will increase again if the active call is resumed." ..
In a video message, the plaintiff's 23-year-old woman said, "I'm still very lazy and have been working since April, but I'm worried if I can continue working because I often leave early or absent. I think that some people will suffer in the same way if the event is resumed, so please do not do it. "
