東京都、大規模接種を独自実施へ　小池知事「ワクチン加速」―新型コロナ

　東京都の小池百合子知事は２０日、新型コロナウイルスワクチンの大規模接種会場を独自に設置する方針を明らかにした。国の調査では、都内の約３分の１の自治体が７月末までに高齢者向け接種が終わらない見通しと回答。都は大規模会場を設けることで接種のスピードを上げる考えだ。
　小池氏は都のモニタリング会議に出席後、記者団に「ワクチン接種を加速させるため、区市町村と連携を取り、大規模な施設の確保を進めていきたい」と表明。「場所や体制などを検討しているところだ」と述べた。（2021/05/20-16:40）

The Tokyo metropolitan government plans to set up large-scale venues for COVID-19 vaccinations in the Japanese capital, Governor Yuriko Koike said Thursday.
   "In a bid to accelerate vaccinations, we'll work to secure large facilities while cooperating with municipal authorities," Koike told reporters.
   "We're considering details including the locations and staff" for mass vaccinations, she added.
   In a survey by the national government, about one-third of municipalities in Tokyo are unlikely to finish vaccinations for elderly people by the end of July.
   Separately, the Defense Ministry will launch such a mass vaccination venue each in Tokyo and the western city of Osaka on Monday.
