In Japan, starting today (17), the first vaccination of 40,000 medical workers will begin. The Japanese government expects the vaccine as the number of victories for the Olympics, but there are many mountains to overcome, such as insufficient preparation and anxiety about safety. Correspondent Lee Kyung-ah reports from Tokyo The hospital, which recently completed a mock test, is about to receive the first corona vaccine in Japan. Unlike the general public, which requires time to interview, vaccination is expected to proceed quickly because it is directed at medical personnel. Starting the middle of next month, another 3.7 million medical workers will be vaccinated. Since this is done only for those who want it, each local medical association solicits opinions individually. Vaccination positions are also mixed in the field. Vaccinations for people 65 and older will be held in each local government starting in April. There is only one month left for full-scale vaccination at the national level, but preparations are insufficient. A second supply of the Pfizer vaccine is expected to arrive next week, but the timing is uncertain and inquiries from local governments are flooded. Securing a special syringe that has recently emerged is also an urgent necessity. This is because without this syringe, which you don’t leave behind, a significant amount of the hard-to-obtain vaccine has to be discarded. The Japanese government has asked a national company that makes special syringes to maximize its current production of 500,000 individuals per month. Vaccination, which has been considered the largest medical business since its history, seems difficult to avoid several trials and errors amid insufficient preparation.
