Regarding vaccination against new coronavirus, the government wants to start vaccination for medical staff from the end of February as much as possible, and to vaccinate elderly people from April 1st.
To ensure smooth vaccination, the government is considering enclosing a pre-examination slip to confirm the health condition when sending the coupons required for vaccination to the residents and encouraging them to fill out in advance.
We are also considering asking for the cooperation of medical personnel, including small clinics, as it will be necessary to deal with elderly people who are ill and cannot go to the venue on the day of the vaccination.
Furthermore, in order to help alleviate public anxiety, the minister in charge of vaccination, Kono, said that he would aim to set up a call center to receive consultations next month.
The government will continue to improve the system while listening to the opinions of local governments, centered on Minister Kono.
