Regarding the vaccination of the new coronavirus, the government is making adjustments so that vaccination at work can be started as early as the middle of next month, targeting not only employees but also their families. We are considering using the Moderna vaccine.
The government plans to promote inoculation in the workplace by industrial physicians, etc. in order to create an environment that makes it easier for workers to inoculate in order to accelerate the vaccination of the new coronavirus.
To this end, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare is investigating the intentions of companies and other organizations, and is making adjustments so that companies of their choice can start vaccination at work as early as mid-next month.
For inoculation at work, we are considering inoculating from elderly people and people with underlying illnesses, not only for employees but also for their families.
In addition to utilizing the Moderna vaccine, the policy is to require the company itself to secure an inoculation carrier such as an industrial physician and an inoculation venue so that the inoculation performed by the local government will not be affected.
