Japan’s first vaccination against COVID-19 finally happened on Wednesday, making the country the last of the G7 nations to begin its rollout. The government says it plans to inoculate about 40,000 healthcare workers in the initial phase.
Staff at the National Tokyo Medical Center began receiving shots on Wednesday. About 800 people there will be part of the initial group and will receive a second dose in three weeks’ time.
Center Director Araki Kazuhiro was the first in line. “I think the vaccine is our trump card against the coronavirus pandemic,” he said. “Medical workers can get a little sense of security by taking it.”
