Due to the decrease in the national vaccine supply, it is difficult to get an appointment for either individual vaccinations or group vaccinations at medical facilities in Kashiwa City. We apologize for the inconvenience that this has caused for Kashiwa City residents.

Under these circumstances, we are preparing a system to administer an average of about 140,000 vaccinations per week in August, compared to an average of about 180,000 vaccinations per week in June. In addition, we are continuing to set up new group vaccination locations in order to increase the opportunity to get a vaccination.

Group vaccinations

Locations where vaccinations can currently be obtained are listed in the chart. In order to prevent heat exhaustion among people who are receiving vaccinations, we have changed the vaccination location from the Shonan Health Center to the Shonan Building due to problems with the air conditioning.

The eligible age for the Takeda/Moderna Inc. vaccine used for group vaccinations will be lowered from 18 to 12 years of age.

People aged 15 and under must be accompanied by a parent or guardian

As a general rule, people aged 15 and under must be accompanied by a parent or guardian for their vaccination. The parent or guardian must fill in the "person receiving a vaccination or signed guardian" section on the pre-vaccination medical questionnaire, and bring it with them to the vaccination.
