As the infection of the new corona spreads rapidly nationwide, the government encourages the younger generation to vaccinate for the third time and to improve the vaccination rate. I am considering extending.

The number of newly infected people on the 20th of the new corona reached a record high in 30 prefectures and prefectures, including exceeding 20,000 for the first time in Osaka, and exceeded 150,000 in Japan, the highest ever.



The government has a policy of not restricting behavior at this time, considering that there is no request from local governments to apply priority measures such as prevention of spread, and the younger generation whose third vaccination rate is only in the 30% to 50% range. On the other hand, we will continue to work on inoculation while utilizing SNS and so on.



Regarding this, Chief Cabinet Secretary Matsuno said at a press conference, "Vaccination will protect not only yourself but also important people such as family, friends and the elderly, so I would like to ask for a third vaccination as soon as possible." ..



We are also considering extending the period of large-scale vaccination by the Self-Defense Forces in Tokyo and Osaka, which is due at the end of this month, in order to improve the vaccination rate.



In addition, as the opportunities for contact between people increase due to homecoming during the summer vacation, the elderly who are at high risk of becoming seriously infected are infected by rushing to establish temporary free inspection bases at major stations and airports. Our policy is to focus on prevention.
