3回目接種、高齢者施設で続々開始 オミクロン株に警戒強まる―東京、大阪

 新型コロナウイルスワクチンをめぐり、大阪市や東京都世田谷区などでは23日、一部の高齢者施設の入所者らを対象とした3回目接種が始まった。大阪府に次ぎ、京都府でも新型コロナの変異株「オミクロン株」の市中感染が確認され、感染再拡大への警戒感が強まる中、関係者は準備を急ぐが、前倒し接種は一部にとどまる見通しだ。
 政府は先週末、2回目接種からの間隔をこれまでの原則8カ月から短縮すると決定。高齢者施設は「6カ月」間隔とした。(2021/12/23-15:31)

Japan Municipalities Begin Giving Early Booster Shots


Some Japanese municipalities began administering COVID-19 vaccine booster shots Thursday, earlier than initially planned, to residents of elderly care facilities.
   Municipalities are rushing preparations to give third shots after community-acquired infections of the omicron variant of the novel coronavirus were confirmed in the western prefectures of Kyoto and Osaka.
   But only a few people are expected to receive booster shots early.
   The central government decided last week to shorten the minimum interval between the second and third shots to six months for people in elderly facilities from eight months in principle.
   An elderly care facility in Naniwa Ward in the city of Osaka began administering booster shots Thursday. Twelve residents and staff members who had received their second shots by the end of June were inoculated that day.
