Occupational inoculation by companies and universities of the new coronavirus vaccine will begin in earnest on the 21st.

The government wants to accelerate vaccination so that everyone who wants it can be completed from October to November.

Occupational inoculations by companies and universities have been carried out by some airlines since last week, and will start in earnest from the 21st.



According to the government, as of the 18th of last week, 13.73 million people are scheduled to be vaccinated at more than 3,400 venues nationwide, and if the vaccine delivery goes smoothly on the 21st, it is expected that vaccination will be done at a maximum of about 260 venues. That is.



In addition to employees, their families, and business partners, some companies also include residents around the venue.



The government has decided to support small and medium-sized enterprises and industry groups so that they can inoculate their workplaces, and if multiple companies do it together, it will subsidize part of the cost of securing a venue.



And from October to November, we would like to accelerate the inoculation including the inoculation by the local government so that all the desired people can finish the inoculation.



On the other hand, the government has decided to disseminate information so as not to discriminate or put pressure on people who have not been vaccinated, saying that they should not be disadvantaged.

Some companies are preparing for inoculation in the workplace with the support of medical institutions

Some companies are preparing with the support of medical institutions to facilitate vaccination in the workplace.



Colowide, a major restaurant chain that operates izakaya chains, plans to vaccinate 6,000 employees working in the Tokyo metropolitan area, their families, part-time employees, and part-time workers.



We have set up two venues in Yokohama, where the head office is located, and of these, the conference room at the head office received 3000 vaccines on the 18th of this month.



This company decided the layout of the inoculation site based on the advice of medical institutions in Yokohama city.



In addition, we have prepared our own manual based on the advice, which summarizes a series of tasks such as the number of people required to operate the venue, materials to be prepared in advance, and the flow from reception to waiting after inoculation.



Keiichiro Takahashi, director of the Colowide Public Relations Office, said, "It was difficult for us to prepare by ourselves, but we were saved by the support of medical institutions. Now, I am relieved that we can start vaccination from the 21st. By doing so, we want our employees to work with peace of mind and our customers to come to our store with peace of mind. "
