[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) .

Target audience
Those aged 5 to 11 who have a resident card in the ward and wish to be vaccinated. 5 months have passed since the second vaccination for booster vaccination (3rd time).
(note) consent and companion of protector are necessary for inoculation. Please consider the merits and demerits of vaccination, and consult with the person (child) who is to be vaccinated before making a decision.
Vaccine to use
Pfizer (for children aged 5 to 11)
(Note) The pediatric vaccine is a different formulation from the Pfizer vaccine and Takeda/Moderna vaccine for those aged 12 and over, and the dosage and administration are different.
(Note) For those who received the first vaccination at the age of 11 and will be 12 years old at the time of the second vaccination, the second vaccination is also for children because the type of vaccine used for children over 12 years old is different. Inoculate with a vaccine. For more details, please check the page about pediatric vaccination [for those who turn 12 years old] .
(Note) If a person who received the pediatric vaccine in the first vaccination and is over 12 years old at the time of the third vaccination, the vaccination will be for those aged 12 and over.
vaccination interval
2nd inoculation
Inoculate after 3 weeks have passed since the first inoculation.
3rd inoculation
Administer after 5 months from the second vaccination.
Simultaneous vaccination with other vaccines
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 extension of the expiration date of the new corona vaccine
The expiration date of a vaccine is set based on data collected by the company that manufactures and sells the vaccine, as to whether the quality is maintained when the vaccine is stored for a certain period of time, and is set through regulatory procedures. For this reason, even after the expiration date has been set once, if data can be collected on how the quality of the vaccine can be maintained when the vaccine is stored for a longer period of time, based on that data, it will be approved through regulatory procedures. The expiration date may be extended.
(Note) Please be assured that this is not an expired vaccine.
Pfizer vaccine expiry date extension
Due to a notification from the government, the expiration date of the Pfizer vaccine for children has been further extended from 6 months and 9 months to 18 months as of December 2022. For more information, please refer to the Vaccine Expiration Date (December 16, 2020 Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare Health Service Bureau contact document) (external site) .
