As the number of children infected with the new coronavirus increases, Katsushika-ku, Tokyo began on the 11th with priority vaccination for elementary and junior high school students in the ward who have reached the age at which they can be vaccinated.
Katsushika-ku, Tokyo started priority vaccination for elementary and junior high school students at mass inoculation venues in the ward on the 11th.
The target is elementary and junior high school students who have a resident card in the ward and wish to inoculate from 6th grade to 3rd grade of junior high school, and only one guardian can accompany them.
On the 11th, parents and children visited the venue one after another and were vaccinated after receiving a pre-examination.
Initially, the ward set a priority quota for 2000 people and accepted reservations, but in the future we plan to increase the quota further and promote inoculation of elementary and junior high school students by the end of this month.
The mother of a boy in the first grade of junior high school said, "I was grateful that I could get the vaccination because I couldn't make a reservation at all. I was worried because I went to school by train, but I think it was one of the reassuring materials." I was talking.
Tsuyoshi Nanbu, chief of the Katsushika Ward New Infectious Disease Control Division, said, "We will continue to accept reservations from next week onward, so please take this opportunity to inoculate."
