Priority vaccination of the new coronavirus vaccine for pregnant women and their families was held in Kure City, Hiroshima Prefecture on the 25th.
The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare has notified local governments nationwide to give priority to vaccination, saying that when pregnant women are infected with the new coronavirus, they are more likely to become severely ill, especially in the second trimester of pregnancy, and the risk of preterm birth increases.
In response to this, on the 25th, Kure City gave priority vaccination to pregnant women and their families.
The reservation for the 25th was 70 people, and pregnant women and their families who visited the venue in the city were inoculated in order after being interviewed by a doctor.
One of the doctors interviewed was an obstetrician and gynecologist, who allowed pregnant women to discuss their concerns before vaccination.
In addition, a nursery room with a nursery teacher was set up at the venue, and some people took care of their children during the inoculation.
A 29-year-old woman who received the vaccination said, "I was worried about the vaccination, but I was able to receive it with confidence because there was an obstetrician and gynecologist at the venue and I could consult with him." ..
