According to NHK TV, the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology recently investigated whether universities across the country are willing to provide campuses as venues for COVID-19 vaccination. The results showed that about 350 universities across Japan expressed their willingness to cooperate. It is expected that the Japanese government will successively start the COVID-19 vaccination work in universities from July.
In order to further speed up the vaccination process, Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga and Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Ogiuda Koichi reached an agreement on the establishment of vaccination points on university campuses in their talks last week. It is reported that Modena vaccine will be used at vaccination points on campus.
The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology revealed that it plans to use campus vaccination points to vaccinate university faculty, staff and students after the vaccinations for the elderly and patients with underlying diseases have reached a certain stage.
According to reports, the vaccination sites on university campuses will become another batch of vaccination sites directly managed by the Japanese government after the large-scale COVID-19 vaccination centers launched in Tokyo and Osaka Prefecture on May 24. The Japanese government hopes to achieve the goal of administering 1 million doses of vaccine every day.
At the meeting of the House of Representatives, Education, Culture, Science and Technology Committee held on the 26th, Ogiuda Koichi stated that he is conducting research on the idea of arranging college students who have lost their part-time job opportunities due to the epidemic to be instructed at university vaccination sites.
