Q&A: COVID-19 vaccines and getting vaccinated in Japan The following are questions and answers regarding COVID-19 vaccines and how to get vaccinated in Japan. Q: What are vaccines? A: Vaccines protect a person from infectious diseases, usually by introducing a weakened or harmless part of a pathogen into the body and triggering the immune system to create antibodies. When the person is exposed to the pathogen in the future, the immune system knows to create the antibodies that can defend against it.
