At the large-scale inoculation site set up in the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government revealed that one medical worker was inoculated with a different type of vaccine as the second dose.
It was the judgment of the doctor who interviewed him on the spot, but the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare did not allow different types of vaccination, and the city said it was "inappropriate."
The Tokyo Metropolitan Government has also been vaccinated with AstraZeneca vaccine from the 1st of this month at a large-scale venue set up in the North Observatory of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building, and on the 7th of this month, one medical worker was vaccinated.
According to the city, the medical worker had been vaccinated with Pfizer for the first time in March and had been vaccinated with a different type.
According to the city, the medical worker explained that "the first Pfizer inoculation caused anaphylactic shock, so my doctor recommended AstraZeneca a second time."
On the day of the event, the doctor in charge of the interview, who was explained at the venue, decided that he could inoculate AstraZeneca different from the first one.
The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare does not allow the use of different types of vaccines in the "implementation rules" for local governments, and the city said, "The doctor's judgment was inappropriate. ".
At this vaccination site, the third vaccination, which was not approved for one medical worker, was given at the discretion of the doctor who interviewed the doctor last month, and the city was trying to make it known to the doctors.
