Dear Parents,
Kansai University of International Studies President and Crisis Management Headquarters Director
Atsushi Hamana
As the severe heat continues, more than 1 people are infected with the new coronavirus every day nationwide, and I would like to express my sympathy to those who are spending their days without rest, both physically and mentally.
In addition to declaring a state of emergency for six prefectures, emergency measures have been taken to prevent the spread of infection in 6 prefectures, including Hyogo Prefecture, and the spread of infection continues to expand. You must beThe number of infected people in Japan is on the verge of surpassing 13 million people today, which means that 100 in 120 people has already been infected.As a university, we have been making preparations to implement occupational vaccinations at our Amagasaki campus as soon as possible. I had to postpone the first vaccination date on August 8nd because I was informed that it was no longer possible.
In addition to thisOn the 23th, I received a message from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology that they could not supply the vaccine for the week of the 29rd (until the XNUMXth).We regret to inform you that 8I have to postpone the 23th vaccination on the 1th of the month.At the time of this communication, it was clearly stated that the vaccine storage freezer would be delivered to the university on the week of the 16th (until the 22nd).Vaccine supply itself is considered secure.Therefore, at our university,We have decided to readjust the implementation schedule, with the first vaccination date being September 1th (Sat) and 9th (Sun), and the second vaccination date being September 4th (Sat) and 5th (Sun). increase.(Please understand that there are still uncertain factors regarding the date of vaccination, and the schedule may change.)
Those who have previously made reservations for vaccinations at our university will be notified of the rescheduled dates on a priority basis, so please check.If you need to change, please change your reservation.Also, for those who wish to be vaccinated at our university for the first time, we will start the second recruitment around August 20th, so please wait for the notification.
Even if you have made a reservation, if you can get vaccinated by then at a large vaccination venue, etc., please get vaccinated there.However, please do not forget to cancel your reservation.
There are rumors and inaccurate information about the side effects of vaccination.Indeed, it seems that 37.5% of people have a fever of 2 degrees or higher after the second vaccination, and 75.7% two days after the second vaccination.The incidence of anaphylaxis is only about 22.3 people per million doses.On the other hand, various aftereffects remain after being infected with the coronavirus, and in particular, about 100% (about 5% of people in their 6s) have taste disorders (abnormal smell and taste). .At present, no radical treatment for the novel coronavirus infection has been developed yet, and it is highly likely that it will be treated symptomatically.You have to take either risk comparing the risk of vaccination and the risk of the aftereffects of infection.It seems that we are forced to make the ultimate choice in the 5th wave of corona misfortune.Based on the results of the survey, which was closed by today, and the information we have gathered, we can estimate that about 6% of all of you have been vaccinated or have made a reservation.On the other hand, according to the latest analysis, the breakdown of newly infected people by age group shows that those in their 20s account for the largest number, and the risk of severe illness among those who have not been vaccinated is also increasing.We hope that you will use the data as a reference to proactively and autonomously make wise decisions and take action.Don't neglect the prevention of infection, and show us your energetic face in September.
