TOKYO (AP) – The Japanese government says more than 50% of people have been fully vaccinated.
The Japanese vaccine began in mid-October, several months in many rich countries thanks to long-term clinical trials and approvals. Inoccines for older adults, which started in April, were also reduced by a reduction in foreign vaccines, but the course started in late May and managed to drink 1 million a day.
Finance Minister Yututoshi Nishimura, who oversees the COVID-19 channels, told weekly interviews on NHK TV week that about 60% of people are expected to receive the full vaccine by the end of September, as in Europe.
The government is reading a roadmap around the blockade around November where more people are expected to be fully vaccinated. This may allow people who are fully vaccinated and who are considered to be unable to travel, to attend parties or to attend meetings.
Advances in vaccination have helped reduce the number of serious cases and deaths among the elderly, but the most common infectious diseases in August among young people are still vaccinated, disrupting health systems.
Last Friday Japan added an emergency to Tokyo and other areas 18 to September 30. It was supposed to end on Sunday. This is aimed at requiring that restaurants close immediately without drinking alcohol.
Japan has done better than other developed countries in preventing disease and death without closure. It has estimated more than 1.65 million cases and 16,700 deaths.
