Priority vaccination of the new coronavirus vaccine for examinees has begun in Shizuoka City, and children and parents who have been vaccinated have expressed their relief.
As the number of infected people in the younger generation increases and school classes begin in earnest after the summer vacation, Shizuoka City began preferential vaccination of the new corona vaccine to examinees at a commercial facility in Aoi Ward, Shizuoka City from the 9th. rice field.
Pfizer's vaccine is used by children and students who are refraining from taking the exam, as well as third-year junior high school and third-year high school students who are looking for a job.
Students and others visited the venue one after another, and after completing the interviews with doctors, they were vaccinated.
The priority vaccination period is until the 28th of this month, and the vaccination quota for more than 2,860 people is almost full.
A 6th grade boy who finished the vaccination was enthusiastic, saying, "I'm glad I got the vaccine because it causes trouble to people around me when I get infected. I want to do my best to take the exam and play soccer in junior high school."
The child's father said, "I was relieved because I thought that the child's inoculation would come first. I'm less worried about it, so I'd like you to study hard for the exam."
Mr. Hitoshi Matsuda, General Manager of the Health Center in Shizuoka City, said, "I would like children who are approaching an important time to get the vaccine as soon as possible and do their best to take the examination with peace of mind."
