The number of inquiries about vaccination and infection control of the new coronavirus is increasing at the consultation desk that responds to the anxiety of pregnant women online, and the Tokyo Metropolitan Association of Midwifery Teachers is calling for active use.

Since April last year, when it became difficult to hold events and counseling sessions for pregnant women due to the spread of the new coronavirus infection, the Tokyo Metropolitan Maternity Association has put in place a system for online counseling.

Due to the rapid spread of infection in the 5th wave, the number of consultations increased about 1.5 times in July and last month, such as "I am pregnant but can I get a vaccine?" However, I'm worried about what to do with the place of birth. "



In addition, the Tokyo Metropolitan Midwifery Association and local governments in Tokyo started to provide consultations for pregnant women infected with the new corona in September last year.



In addition to online, I also visit and listen to stories, which means that 43 people have used it by January.



According to the Japan Society of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the total number of pregnant women infected with the new corona was 460 from April to July last year in Tokyo, and July was the largest number of 98 per month. It means that it is climbing.

Yaeko Kataoka, Chairman of the Tokyo Midwifery Association, said, "I feel that the number of pregnant women who feel anxiety is increasing as the infection spreads. I want you to make use of the consultation desk. "



Reservations are required for online consultations with the Tokyo Metropolitan Maternity Association.
