Japan Opens Large COVID-19 Vaccination Centres In Tokyo, Osaka

TOKYO, May 24  — A major coronavirus vaccination centre that can provide shots to up to 10,000 people a day has opened in Japan with the support of Self-Defence Forces, a Sputnik correspondent reported.

The vaccination centre is located in the central Otemachi neighbourhood of the Japanese capital.

Another vaccination centre opened in the city of Osaka on Monday, offering shots to seniors over the age of 65. The Osaka centre has enough vaccines to inoculate up to 5,000 people a day.

The vaccination centres will remain open for three months, from 8 am until 8 pm seven days a week. Advance registration is required to get a shot.

Japan launched its mass vaccination campaign in mid-February, but has only fully inoculated less than 1,6 per cent of its 126 million population so far. The first phase included 4.7 million medical workers. On April 12, the country began to inoculate elderly people aged over 65, expecting to complete this phase by late July.
