Status of vaccinations in Kashiwa City

We will provide information regarding vaccinations in the city.

People who would like to get vaccinated should make an appointment as soon as possible

The overall vaccination rate in Kashiwa City is high, so we will no longer be accepting new appointments for group vaccinations. From now on, the 1st and 2nd dose of the vaccine will be available as individual vaccinations at medical facilities in the city. Please consult with one of the medical facilities providing vaccinations in Kashiwa City to make your vaccination appointment.

Moving towards the 3rd vaccination

For the 3rd dose of the vaccine, priority will not be given to occupation or age, but everyone will be eligible after about 8 months have passed since they received their 2nd dose. In Kashiwa City, the 3rd dose of the vaccine will be provided in order beginning in December.

 

When more information about the 3rd dose of the vaccine becomes available, we will notify you through Koho Kashiwa and the Kashiwa City website.
