The levels for mailing vaccination tickets will be further subdivided

From mid-May onwards, we have been continuing to work on establishing a stable vaccination system with a stable vaccine supply that can meet the demand in the city, and allow for an increase in vaccination appointments at medical facilities in the city. Currently, vaccination tickets are being mailed in levels to people 65 years of age and older. However, people aged 65 to 73 in Level 3 are being further subdivided based on the situation at medical facilities in order to avoid confusion. Your cooperation and understanding are greatly appreciated.

Vaccinations are optional and free of charge. If you wish to receive a vaccination, please contact one of the medical facilities to make an appointment after receiving your vaccination ticket.
