Regarding the third inoculation of the new coronavirus, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications has confirmed that, in principle, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications will inform local governments nationwide to proceed with preparations for people eight months after the second inoculation.
Before the third vaccination of the new coronavirus begins next month, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications held a meeting to consider support for local governments.
Minister of Internal Affairs and Communications Kaneko said, "It is necessary to support smooth inoculation while working closely with prefectures and municipalities," and instructed to take all possible measures.
Then, regarding the interval from the second vaccination, it was confirmed that some local governments would be confused, and in principle, people who were eight months old should be informed that preparations should be made.
We also decided to strengthen our support system by notifying the timing and amount of vaccine supply as soon as possible and establishing a system for receiving consultations from local governments.
