A document requesting the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology to cooperate with national university corporations, local governments that set up universities, and school corporations to set up venues and secure medical personnel for the new coronavirus vaccination of students taking entrance exams for universities and high schools. Was sent.

 According to the Ministry of Education, the document is the name of the Higher Education Planning Division, and is intended for national university corporations, local governments that establish universities, school corporations, etc.Some local governments have begun efforts to give priority to vaccinations for students taking university and high school exams, but if there is a request from local governments to cooperate in setting up venues and securing medical personnel, we will be positive. I want you to consider it.

 In August, Fujinomiya City, Shizuoka Prefecture, started priority vaccination for about 8 third-year high school students by taking advantage of the availability of reservations at the mass vaccination site, as there were voices of anxiety about the prolonged corona illness among the examinees. In addition, the corporation association in Shikokuchuo City, Ehime Prefecture has opened the occupational vaccination to the general public, and high school students who are planning to take the examination are also vaccinated.Osaka Prefecture has announced a policy to set up a venue in Chuo-ku, Osaka City where examinees can inoculate.

 Furthermore, in addition to the fact that some universities and high school students such as Kakuda City in Miyagi Prefecture, Chigasaki City in Kanagawa Prefecture, Hitachinaka City in Ibaraki Prefecture, Bizen City in Okayama Prefecture, and Kirishima City in Kagoshima Prefecture have started accepting priority reservations, Aomori Aomori City, Yamagata Prefecture, Kofu City, Yamagata Prefecture, etc. are scheduled to start accepting vaccinations for examinees soon.

 The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology has sent notifications to local governments nationwide requesting that students who plan to take the examination be given priority in vaccination.
