|---|---|---|

| 2 | Why is the additional (3rd) vaccination for children (5-11 years old) necessary? | Due to the fact that the number of severe cases in children tends to increase during the epidemic of the Omicron strain, and the efficacy of the first (1st and 2nd) vaccinations to prevent the onset of symptoms declines over time, a third vaccination is recommended for children.

There are no restrictions on the purpose of using annual paid leave. If you think you need to take time off from work to get your child vaccinated, etc., we recommend that you consult with your workplace in advance. |
| 13 | What should I do if my child is absent from elementary school, junior high school, kindergarten, etc. on the day of vaccination? | It is possible to treat it as a suspension of attendance instead of being treated as absent.

However, the vaccination is not compulsory, and there is no change in receiving it based on the judgment of the person or guardian. |

However, depending on the content of the treatment received, it may be necessary to wait for a certain period of time, and it is up to the doctor to decide when the vaccination can start. |

About the Nerima-ku model
| question | Answer | |
|---|---|---|

We showed inoculation system to cover in this. [4th inoculation] Based on the concept of "nearby, safe, and at the place of your choice," the ward continues and evolves the vaccination system that has been implemented so far, such as showing that even those who cannot go to the vaccination site on their own can be vaccinated through transportation support and home-visit vaccination. It is about the inoculation plan that I made. |
| 2 | What criteria did you use to choose the venue for group vaccinations and clinics for individual vaccinations? | The mass vaccination venue was selected so that facilities with a certain size could be arranged for each region.

| 7 | Is it true that some people get myocarditis and pericarditis after being vaccinated? | Although rare, there have been reports of myocarditis or pericarditis following mRNA (messenger RNA) vaccination. The benefits of vaccination are thought to far outweigh the risk of myocarditis and pericarditis, which are often mild. |
| 8 | If I am vaccinated during pregnancy, will my newborn be immune? | It has been reported that vaccination during pregnancy (especially in the third trimester) may transfer antibodies to newborns. |
