The third inoculation of the new coronavirus vaccine began on December 1st for healthcare professionals nationwide.
Of these, at the Tokyo Medical Center in Meguro-ku, Tokyo, an inoculation venue was set up before 9 am, and a total of 18 doctors and nurses submitted pre-examination slips and were vaccinated with Pfizer vaccine.
According to the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, 1.04 million medical workers who have been vaccinated for more than 8 months since the second vaccination will be vaccinated this month.
Next month, in addition to 2 million medical professionals, 1.03 million people, including the elderly and those under the age of 64, are expected to be targeted. Will also start.
The vaccination ticket is supposed to be delivered by mail 8 months before the second vaccination, but if the delivery of the local government is delayed, you can receive the vaccination as an exception.
The vaccinated nurse woman said, "I don't know how the side reactions will occur, but I think the third vaccination will prepare for the sixth wave. I'm prepared because people's activities are increasing. I think it's important. "
Dr. Kazuhiro Araki said, "I am very relieved. An important step has begun to ensure that not only staff but also patients and their families can receive medical examinations with peace of mind. The effectiveness of Omicron strains will be accumulated from now on. I think it will go, but it is said that it is effective to some extent for Delta strains, so the third inoculation is very important. "
