Implementation of vaccination without reservation

From Friday, January 6, 2023, we will carry out vaccination without reservation at the gallery venue on the 1st floor of the ward office.
For details of the venue, etc., please see the link below.

About shortening of inoculation interval

From Friday, October 21, 2022, the interval between the 4th and 5th vaccinations has been shortened from 5 months to 3 months . At group vaccination venues and hospitals where reservations are managed by the city, you can receive vaccinations at intervals of 3 months from the date of vaccination on Sunday, October 23, 2022. Please inquire directly about inoculations at other medical institutions.

About vaccination against Omicron strain

Please confirm the following about the subjects of the bivalent vaccination corresponding to the Omicron strain and the conventional strain.
Since November 2022, we have been inoculating bivalent vaccines compatible with Pfizer's Omicron strain (BA.4/5). Even with a /5 compatible type, it is thought that the induced immunity will also respond to a wider variety of new coronaviruses due to the presence of two types of components, the conventional strain and the Omicron strain.
For more information, please check the link below.

If you forget your vaccination ticket at the time of vaccination, the response differs depending on each medical institution, and if you do not have your vaccination ticket, you may not be able to get vaccinated on the day, so be sure to bring your vaccination ticket with you on the day of vaccination.
