In addition to the prevalence of new coronavirus infections during the year-end and New Year holidays, there is a possibility that the spread of infection will exceed this summer this winter due to the relaxation of movement restrictions and the activation of social activities. In addition, seasonal influenza is also prevalent in the southern hemisphere at a level close to that before the corona epidemic, and there is a possibility that it will spread in Japan as well.

For this reason, there is a high possibility that simultaneous epidemics and simultaneous infections (flurona) of new coronavirus infections and seasonal influenza will occur. It is also possible that you will not be able to receive a medical examination.

We ask that young people, including the elderly, who are at high risk of becoming seriously ill, be vaccinated against the new coronavirus in order to prevent the severity of the infection as much as possible. In addition, elderly people who are subject to regular vaccinations should also be vaccinated against influenza as soon as possible.

The new corona vaccine and influenza vaccine can be vaccinated at the same time or can be vaccinated without opening the interval before and after the inoculation. All vaccines take 1-2 weeks to take effect after being inoculated, so early vaccination is recommended. In addition, in order to prevent the spread of infection, please continue to take basic infection control measures such as hand hygiene such as washing hands, ventilation, and wearing an appropriate mask.

On this special site, we will inform you in an easy-to-understand manner about who should be vaccinated with the new coronavirus vaccine, when and where to get it, the effects and side effects of the vaccine, and various issuance applications and consultation desks.
