Vaccination for children

Vaccination includes routine vaccination and voluntary vaccination. With regard to routine vaccination, the Preventive Vaccination Law defines the target diseases, subjects, and vaccination schedules.Vaccination is carried out during periods appropriate to each disease.

​

(1) Notice of vaccination

Routine vaccination is carried out by the municipal office in accordance with the Preventive Vaccination Law. A notice of vaccination is usually sent to parents individually. Since the notice is sent on the basis of the Basic Resident Register and the Residence Card, make sure to report when a baby is born or when you move.

(2) Schedule for vaccination

The routine vaccination is, in principle, given individually. Our clinc staff will help you build up The Vaccination Schedule for your child , so please bring all the vaccination records you already have for your child . 

​

Vaccines are classified into two categories: live and inactivated vaccines, and the appropriate intervals at which to give different vaccines must be maintained. In certain cases, there may be a need to receive more than one kind of vaccine at the same time. 

＜Vaccination intervals＞
The length of vaccination intervals are established in laws and ordinances. An interval of at least 27 days should be taken from the day after receiving a live vaccine until the day of receiving a different vaccine.

An interval of at least 6 days should be taken from the day after receiving an inactivated vaccine until the day of receiving a different vaccine.

​

＜General precautions＞

Vaccination should be performed when your child is in good health.  If you have any concerns, do not hesitate to consult your family doctor, healthcare center, or the municipal office in charge, in advance.

To have your child vaccinated safely, we recommend that you make the decision whether to receive the vaccination on the appointed day after taking the following into consideration:

1. a)  Observe your child carefully from the morning on the day of vaccination, and confirm that he/she is well.Even if vaccination is scheduled, if your child appears sick, consult your family doctor and decide whether your child should be vaccinated or not.

2. b)  Thoroughly read the information about vaccination provided by the municipal office so that you fully understand the necessity and possible adverse effects of the vaccines.

6. Before having your child vaccinated

1. d)  The screening questionnaire contains important information for the doctor in charge of vaccination. Please fill in the form completely and accurately.

2. e)  We recommend that the child being vaccinated be accompanied by a parent.

A child can only be vaccinated if a parent fully understands the benefits of and possible adverse reactions to vaccination and agrees to have the child vaccinated.

PCR test : Fit-to-Flight

As restrictions on international travel are gradually being lifted, many destination countries require a medical certificate showing proof of a negative test result for Covid-19, either to gain entry or to avoid the need to quarantine. Even in cases where the destination country does not require proof of a negative result, knowing you are coronavirus free before travelling to a foreign country can give you extra peace of mind.

Travel restrictions are changing every day during the current covid-19 pandemic situation.Some countries require travellers to confirm a negative COVID-19 test to enter their countries. Travellers should check the requirements of the country they are travelling to, by contacting their local High Commission, Embassy or Consulate to the country you are travelling to.. 

​

PCR test for Fit to Flight is NOT covered by any medical insurance.
