Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga said on the 18th that he will be vaccinated with a new coronavirus infection (Corona 19) vaccine.

Prime Minister Suga said in a speech on the corrective policy following the opening of the Trade Assembly (regular assembly) that afternoon, saying, “The vaccine is the number of battles against the (new coronavirus) infection. We will prepare to start vaccination by the end of February.”

It is reported that the Japanese government has secured more than 120% of the total population of Corona 19 vaccine through pre-purchase contracts with pharmaceutical companies around the world.

However, there is only one vaccine that has been applied for approval in Japan and is under screening, which was jointly developed by Pfizer, a US pharmaceutical company, and Bioentech, Germany, so it will take a long time before the Japanese government targets the nationwide vaccination. There are many prospects for it.

In addition, as the spread of Corona 19 continues, with up to 7,800 new corona19 confirmed cases per day being reported in Japan this year, a’emergency (emergency) declaration’ related to Corona 19 has been announced to 11 metropolitan local governments including the current capital of Tokyo. The situation has been reissued.

For this reason, there are observations that the holding of the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympic Games, which are scheduled for July-September this year, may also be disrupted. According to the results of a recent poll conducted by local media companies, the proportion of negative respondents to the Tokyo Olympics held within this year accounts for more than 70%.

However, in his speech on the day, Prime Minister Suga diagnosed that the Corona 19 epidemic in his country is “in a serious situation,” but said, “I will fix it as soon as possible. In relation to the’emergency declaration’, the so-called ‘4th stage’ (infection situation is the most severe) quickly escaped. I will.”

Prime Minister Suga also said, “The Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games are proof that humanity has won the novel coronavirus, and we want to use it as an opportunity to inform the world about the revival from the Great East Japan Earthquake.” “We will realize a society full of’security’ and’hope’. “I also mentioned.
