Regarding the third inoculation of the new corona vaccine that started last month, Deputy Chief Cabinet Secretary Kihara said that many local governments have been implementing it in earnest since the beginning of the year, and accelerated the pace by setting up a large-scale inoculation venue by the Self-Defense Forces. I showed my thoughts.
According to the latest vaccination status of the new corona vaccine announced by the government on the 19th, the number of people who received the third vaccination was more than 1.62 million, which is 1.3% of the total population.
Regarding this, Deputy Chief Cabinet Secretary Kihara said at a press conference, "The third vaccination started last month, but as a result, many local governments were preparing to start in earnest from the beginning of the year. In that sense, the start was slightly delayed. I think it is. "
On top of that, "We would like to strengthen the efforts of the government as a whole in close cooperation with local governments, such as reliable supply of necessary vaccines, establishment of large-scale inoculation venues by the Self-Defense Forces, and support for local governments. I want to raise it. "
