4. Precautions

1. The Moderna vaccine will be used.
2. 2. The vaccination venue is the TUFS Fuchu Campus. The doctors providing the shots are from the Tokyo Medical and Dental University.
3. You will need the vaccination voucher issued by your municipality. If you have already received the vaccination voucher, you are required to bring it with you on the day of the vaccination.
4. You may receive the vaccination even if you have not yet gotten your voucher, but you must bring the voucher with you on the date of the 2nd dose. If you have still not received your voucher by that date, you must submit it to the university once you do receive it.
5. Opportunities for COVID-19 vaccinations are gradually expanding in local municipalities, large-scale vaccination sites, and at workplaces. Please check on the vaccination opportunities available to you in your locality before applying to be vaccinated at TUFS. Once you reserve at TUFS, please do not also apply to be vaccinated elsewhere. As has been reported in the news, cancellations can lead to wasted vaccines.
6. Vaccination is voluntary. Only those who register will be vaccinated. The vaccination program at TUFS is only meant for those who wish to be vaccinated and is not mandatory. TUFS members are not required to be vaccinated nor will you be treated disadvantageously in any way if you choose not to be vaccinated.
7. The vaccination process is expected to take about 30 to 40 minutes.
8. Those who register must get both the first and second dose. Once a reservation is made, the date and time cannot be changed.
9. The vaccination is free of charge.
10. On June 23, the government announced a temporary halt to requests for vaccination programs at workplaces and universities. TUFS has already submitted its application and had it accepted, but we are concerned that we may not get enough vaccines to fulfill our program. Should it be necessary to postpone or cancel, everyone who applies will be immediately notified.
