Among them, a male office worker in his thirties said, "Since the New Year's party was canceled during the Golden Week holidays, I tried not to go out as much as possible. There is no change in the way I go to work, but I think it will change from this week." I was talking.
A male group employee in his 40s said, "I hope the drug will be developed sooner and I will be able to return to my normal life."
A female part-time employee in her 50s said, "I came by train, but I was scared because there were so many people. I want my life to be difficult, so I hope the Corona disaster will end soon."
A female in the hospitality industry in her thirties said, "I was working for three consecutive holidays, but the number of customers was small. The number of infected people is increasing, but I just take measures against infection without any particular change."
Under these circumstances, the third vaccination for the general public, including the elderly, has begun in Hiroshima and Yamaguchi prefectures.
竹原市にある高齢者施設では対象となる高齢者と職員、合わせておよそ220人のうち、11日は20人に接種が行われました。
接種を受けた人は15分ほど会場に待機して医師が体調に変化がないか確認していました。
この施設では感染状況が落ち着いた去年10月から年明けまで対面での面会を再開していましたが、竹原市にも「まん延防止等重点措置」が適用されたことから今月末まで対面での面会を中止しています。
また、高齢者や職員に発熱などの症状が出た際には常備している抗原検査キットで検査を行い、感染の広がりを防ぎたいとしています。
接種を受けた80代の女性は「感染が増えていて不安だったのでこれで一安心です」と話していました。
特別養護老人ホーム「瀬戸内園」の中川勝喜施設長は「望んでいたワクチンの前倒し接種が実現してありがたい。少しの隙もないように対策を進めていきたい」と話していました。

Of these, inoculation began on the 11th in Yamaguchi City, and inoculation tickets arrived at the "Tokuji Clinic" in the city, and those who made reservations were inoculated in order after a doctor's interview.
Yamaguchi City is sending out inoculation tickets in order from the person who completed the second inoculation in order, and will proceed with inoculation by combining individual inoculation at 107 medical institutions in the city and group inoculation venues set up in 8 places. ..
In addition, for elderly people, we are making adjustments to move the inoculation interval, which was 8 months or more from the completion of the second inoculation, one month ahead of schedule.
A man in his 70s who finished the third vaccination said, "I wanted to get it early because it is said that I will get infected even if I get the vaccine twice. I don't think this is perfect, but I'm relieved." I did.
