Tokyo Metropolitan Cancer and Infectious Diseases Center Komagome Hospital's president Terumi Kamisawa receives a dose of COVID-19 vaccine in Tokyo on Mar 5, 2021. TOKYO: Japanese business leaders and a Nobel Prize-winning biologist called upon the government to reform its vaccination programme, including allowing drive-through inoculations, as the nation struggles to contain a resurgence of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Japan has secured the largest quantity of COVID-19 vaccines in Asia, as it gears up for the Summer Olympics. But it has inoculated just 1.6 per cent of its population so far, the slowest among wealthy countries.
"The government and local administrations must not be constrained by outdated thinking and must make effective use of private sector expertise," they said in a statement on Wednesday. They urged the government to simplify vaccine application procedures, quicken administration of vaccines by allowing them to be done using a drive-through system and large-scale facilities, and seek the cooperation of medical experts.
