Advancement of COVID-19 vaccine booster shot (third vaccination)

Regarding the booster shot (third vaccination) of COVID-19 vaccine, Yokohama City has already advanced vaccination for medical staff and residents of facilities for the elderly. This time, we will further accelerate vaccination. Regarding the third vaccination interval for other elderly people (65 years or older), in principle, it was assumed that more than 8 months have passed since the completion of the second vaccination, but as a measure to prevent the spread of new mutant strains, the vaccination interval will be brought forward.
