Regarding the Moderna vaccine, Minister of State for Regulatory Reform Kono has revealed that the supply of occupational vaccinations to the venue, which is waiting to start after completing the application, may be delayed.
At a press conference, Minister of State for Regulatory Reform Kono said that Moderna's vaccine "has a global supply delay due to a temporary manufacturing problem, but it is likely to be affected by this." It has been revealed that the supply of occupational vaccinations to the venue after completing the application and waiting for the start may be delayed.
For this reason, Minister Kono explained that he would inform companies and others when it would be possible to start inoculation while assessing the future import situation.
However, the plan to receive 50 million supplies by the end of September remains unchanged.
On the other hand, after the AstraZeneca vaccine was added to the official vaccination, Minister Kono said that it is assumed that people who are allergic to the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines would like to be vaccinated. We have shown a policy of prompt delivery.
He also considered how to use the AstraZeneca vaccine and said he would like to show it early next week.
