職域接種、８日に申請開始　政府、感染状況改善目指す―新型コロナワクチン

　政府は７日、新型コロナウイルスワクチンの企業や大学などでの「職域接種」について、申請の受け付けを８日に開始すると発表した。首相官邸や厚生労働省などのホームページからアクセスし、必要事項を入力する形で行う。実施は２１日から可能で、接種機会の拡大により感染状況の改善につなげたい考えだ。
　職域接種は１０００人以上の規模を確保できる企業などがまず対象となる。加藤勝信官房長官は７日の記者会見で、「希望する全ての国民に安全で有効なワクチンを一日も早く届けられるよう全力で取り組んでいく」と述べた。（2021/06/07-17:38）

The Japanese government said Monday it will start accepting applications for coronavirus vaccinations programs at corporations and universities from Tuesday.
   After filing the applications through the websites of the prime minister's office and the health ministry as per the instructions, the applicants can start vaccinations from June 21.
   The government plans to first accept applications from companies and universities capable of vaccinating over 1,000 people.
   "We will do our best to deliver safe and effective vaccines as soon as possible to citizens who wish to be inoculated", Chief Cabinet Secretary Katsunobu Kato told a press conference Monday.
   Masakazu Tokura, chairman of the Japan Business Federation, better known as Keidanren, said at a separate news conference the same day that many member companies of the leading business organization are "highly motivated" to accelerate the country's vaccination drive.
