1. Making Reservations for Vaccinations
Reservation applications can be made with the enclosed vaccination voucher.
2. Getting Vaccinations
As for children under the age of 16,guardians must accompany their children. (If this is difficult, a relative, etc., who is familiar with the health condition of the child to be vaccinated can be present on behalf of the guardian. A letter of attorney is not required, but the guardian's signature is required on the pre-vaccination medical questionnaire.)
3. Vaccination is Complete

• People 12 years old and above who have received the first and second vaccination shots can receive the vaccination shot for the omicron variant after 3 months have elapsed since receiving the previous vaccination shot.
• People 12 years old and above who have received the first and second vaccination shots can receive the conventional vaccination shot (Takeda Novavax) after 6 months have elapsed since receiving the previous vaccination shot.
• Even if you get a vaccination shot with a vaccine that is different from the previous vaccination, the efficacy and safety have been confirmed to be sufficient.

• You can get the COVID-19 vaccine and an influenza vaccine at the same time without needing time in between them.
• You cannot get vaccines other than the influenza vaccine at the same time as the COVID-19 vaccine. There must be at least 2 weeks between the COVID-19 vaccine and any other vaccine.

It is necessary to obtain a reservation to receive a vaccination. Reservations can be applied for using the enclosed vaccination voucher. First we recommend that you check with your family doctor to see if you can receive a vaccination from them. The methods of applying for reservations are listed below. The vaccination venues differ depending on whether you reserve your vaccination with procedure A or procedure B.
