[Inoculation for children (ages 5 to 11)]
Since certain scientific findings have been obtained under the Omicron strain epidemic, it was deemed appropriate to apply the obligation to make efforts for pediatric vaccination from September 6, 2020 (Tuesday). However, vaccination is not compulsory, and it remains to be done based on the judgment of the person (child) or guardian. For more information, please refer to the Q&A on COVID-19 Vaccines, "Why was the 'obligation to make efforts' applied to vaccinations for children (ages 5 to 11)? (Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare website) .
[Inquiries] Regional Health Division Vaccination Section (Phone: 03-3463-1269)
This page is for people who will be 12 years old at the time of vaccination.
About vaccines
The vaccine for children (5 to 11 years old) is different from the Pfizer vaccine, which is administered to people over 12 years old, and the dosage and administration are different.
About coupons (vaccination tickets)
The envelope for sending the coupon (vaccination ticket) says "for pediatric vaccination", but the enclosed coupon (vaccination ticket) can be used even after turning 12 years old.
Inoculation interval
After 3 weeks have passed since the first vaccination, the second vaccination is possible.
Timing of inoculation
When the first dose is given at the age of 11 and the second dose at the age of 12
If you have received the pediatric vaccine for the first time, you will be vaccinated with the pediatric vaccine even if you reach your 12th birthday by the time of the second vaccination.
For both the 1st and 2nd visits, only telephone reservations are accepted, and reservations cannot be made through the reservation site.

Considerations
If you receive other vaccinations
When receiving other vaccinations before or after child vaccination (ages 5 to 11), in principle, please take vaccinations at intervals of 13 days or more. However, simultaneous vaccination is possible only for influenza vaccine. For details, please refer to the COVID-19 Vaccine Q&A "Can I receive the COVID-19 vaccine and other vaccines at the same time? (Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare website)."
(Note) Please pay attention to the vaccination interval between the DT vaccine and Japanese encephalitis second stage vaccination. If you have any concerns, please consult your family doctor.
About some symptoms after vaccination
Males in their teens and 20s tended to have a lower incidence of myocarditis after vaccination with the Pfizer vaccine than with the Moderna vaccine. If you have an appointment for a Moderna vaccine, or have already received your first Moderna vaccine, and would like to receive a Pfizer vaccine, please reschedule your appointment and you will be able to receive the Pfizer vaccine. .
Pfizer's vaccine is also available in Shibuya Ward, so you can make a reservation.
