Regarding the inoculation of the new coronavirus vaccine to children and students, Mr. Kono, the minister in charge of regulatory reform, said, "I hope we can get hit during the summer vacation so that we can go to school without worrying about the second semester." He said he would show the policy.
On the morning of the 20th, Mr. Kono, the minister in charge of regulatory reform, appeared on the information program "Shuichi" on NTV.
Among them, Minister Kono commented on the vaccination of children and students aged 12 to 15 with the new coronavirus, saying, "We know that there is almost no difference in efficacy and safety depending on age. I don't think I'll hit it in a group during class time, but I hope I can get it hit during the summer vacation so that I can go to school without worrying about the second semester. "
Then, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology said that it would soon show a policy regarding inoculation of children and students.
Also, when asked in the program, "There are rumors that inoculation may cause infertility," Minister Kono said, "Every time a vaccine is released, it is said that you will become infertile. It is a hoax. We are also scientific. I have to explain it properly when I have never done so. "
