Chief Cabinet Secretary Matsuno, who is in charge of vaccination, visited Okinawa Prefecture, where the vaccination rate is the lowest in Japan, met with Governor Tamaki, and requested cooperation in promoting vaccination.
Chief Cabinet Secretary Matsuno, who has been visiting Okinawa Prefecture since the 24th, met with Governor Tamaki at the Okinawa Prefectural Office.
Among them, Chief Cabinet Secretary Matsuno said, "Okinawa Prefecture has the highest number of infected people per 100,000 people in Japan, and we are concerned about the current infection situation. On the other hand, the third vaccination rate is about 5 in Japan. Although it is a percentage, it is less than 40% in Okinawa Prefecture. Acceleration of inoculation is the key as the infection is spreading in the prefecture. "
On top of that, "If you are infected with the new corona, there is a concern that even young people will become seriously ill and have so-called sequelae. It is important for young people as well as the elderly to receive the third vaccination. I would like you to do so, "and requested cooperation in promoting inoculation.
In response, Governor Tamaki said, "I think it is necessary to take further measures to promote inoculation. We will set up an inoculation site in a large-scale commercial facility to improve the environment for inoculation in a familiar place. I would like to proceed. We will deepen cooperation with related organizations. "
Chief Cabinet Secretary Matsuno also met with the mayor's association, town and village association of Okinawa Prefecture, and the chairman of the medical association, and called for cooperation.
