２週間で１７万人が接種　１３日まで予約埋まる―新型コロナワクチン・防衛省

　防衛省は７日、自衛隊が東京と大阪で運営する新型コロナウイルスワクチンの大規模接種センターで、５月２４日の開設から６月６日までの２週間に計１７万３８２４人が接種を受けたと発表した。東京、大阪の両会場で１３日までの予約枠が埋まったことも明らかにした。
　ワクチン接種は当初、１日当たり計７５００人の予約枠からスタートし、５月３１日から上限とされる計１万５０００人に引き上げた。最初の１週間はキャンセルが計７４０１人と多かったが、接種前日まで予約を可能にするなどの対策を講じた結果、２週目のキャンセルは計２７１２人まで減り、１日の接種者数はほぼ上限に近くなった。（2021/06/07-17:16）

A total of 173,824 people got jabs at mass coronavirus vaccination centers run by the Self-Defense Forces in Tokyo and the city of Osaka in the first two weeks, the Defense Ministry said Monday.
   Vaccinations at the centers, which opened on May 24, have already been fully booked until Sunday, the ministry said.
   The centers initially took reservations from up to 7,500 eligible people a day but lifted the ceiling to 15,000 on May 31.
   According to the ministry, there were 7,401 cancelations in the first week. But the figure declined to 2,712 in the second week after reservations were accepted until the day before shots.
   Vaccinations for those aged 65 or older in Hyogo and Kyoto prefectures began at the Osaka center on Monday. As a result, the two centers are now able to give doses to eligible residents in seven eastern and western prefectures as originally envisaged, the ministry said.
