Amid concerns about the spread of the new corona mutant virus "Omicron strain", the Komeito's northern deputy representative said that the interval between the third vaccination and the second vaccination would be shortened as soon as possible while observing the preparations of the local government. He showed the idea that it should be implemented.

As the infection of "Omicron strain" spreads worldwide and infected people are confirmed in Japan, the government needs to set the interval between the second vaccination and the second vaccination to 8 months or more in principle. It is also a policy to consider reviewing the inoculation interval accordingly.



Regarding this, the North Deputy Representative of the Komeito said at a press conference, "Proceeding with the third vaccination as soon as possible will lead to prevention of aggravation in the event of infection. If there is, it is better to shorten it. "He said that the interval with the second time should be shortened as much as possible and it should be implemented promptly.



On the other hand, Mr. Kitabe said, "It is better to improve efficiency and reduce it as much as possible." "It's natural," he said, and at the discretion of the local government, he said that he would accept all cash benefits.
