The 3rd vaccination can be given with a different type of vaccine than the 1st and 2nd vaccinations. |

| 6 | Is it effective against the novel coronavirus that has mutated strains? |
As a general rule, viruses are constantly mutating, and small mutations do not render vaccines ineffective. We will continue to collect information, including information on mutant strains, when reviewing new coronavirus vaccines for which we have applied for approval, while appropriately confirming their efficacy and safety. |
| 7 | I do not wish to receive the new coronavirus vaccine. Should I not be vaccinated? | Vaccines are expected to be effective in preventing the onset and aggravation of the disease if infected, but they are not compulsory vaccinations and should be taken on a voluntary basis. When inoculation is not hoped for, it is not necessary to inoculate forcibly. |
| 8 | Can I receive the new coronavirus vaccine and other vaccines at the same time? | As a general rule, the new corona vaccine and other vaccines cannot be vaccinated at the same time. Covid-19 and other vaccines can be given two weeks after each other. (Example) If you get the COVID-19 vaccine on April 1st, you will not be able to get other vaccines until after April 15th (the same day of the week two weeks later). |
| 9 | Do you conduct an antibody test before inoculating the new coronavirus vaccine? | We are not planning to do an antibody test. |
| Ten | Is the consent of the person to be vaccinated necessary for the new corona vaccine? | Inoculations will only be administered with the consent of the person receiving the vaccination. Those who are to be vaccinated should understand the effectiveness of vaccination in preventing infectious diseases and the risk of side effects, and should be vaccinated voluntarily. No vaccination will be given without the consent of the recipient. |
