Students (especially those who have not decided to get vaccinated)
Dear Parents,
Kansai University of International Studies President and Crisis Management Headquarters Director
Atsushi Hamana
There is absolutely no end in sight to the spread of the coronavirus, and the number of infected people on campus continues to increase day after day, which is heartbreaking.Not to mention Hyogo Prefecture and the Kansai area, from the 27th, 21 prefectures declared a state of emergency nationwide.Four prefectures are expected to issue priority measures to prevent the spread of the virus, and two-thirds of the country is in a difficult situation.In this situation, the fear of not being able to receive medical care such as hospitalization for corona infection or other diseases is a reality, and even a "life crisis" is feared.
□ Rapidly spreading infection among young people
The view that young people are less likely to be infected and less likely to become seriously ill,Between July 7 and August 14, the number of infected people under the age of 8 increased six-fold from 17 to 20 on a weekly basis, indicating that "although young people are at low risk of severe disease, There are new findings such as "No," and "Even if the infection is mild, young people have a high risk of residual sequelae."In other words, you can't say the risk is low.
□ To protect the lives of our students
The number of infected people is rapidly increasing, approaching 2% to 3% of the total number of students, and the situation of infection is also diversifying.It's not someone else's problem.I'm worried about your own risk of becoming seriously ill, and I'm also worried about the risk of infecting your family members and other people close to you.
As a university, we strongly hope to protect you from the raging new coronavirus infection, and we would like you to be considerate of the people around you and the people of society with the spirit of "Iai Ien". I hope
□ Vaccination leads to risk reduction
At present, there is no established method to completely prevent infection.but,Currently, vaccination is the only way to reduce the risk.As of August 8, 22% of the population have been vaccinated twice, and 2% have been vaccinated once. I'm worried aboutVaccination is not compulsory, but there is an increasing number of places where off-campus practical training requires that you have already been vaccinated, or that you must prove a negative PCR test as a condition of participation.A situation in which being unvaccinated restricts your learning opportunitiesAlso, public places and shops such as restaurants may require such proof as a condition of entry (this has already started in some parts of Europe and the United States).
□ Last opportunity to receive vaccinations on campus
The vaccination period at our university isSeptember 9th (Sat), 4th (Sun)There are no further plans for the opportunity from(In-campus vaccination opportunity that prioritizes the first and last of you).At this stage, there are only 130 slots left.If you miss this opportunity for those who have not received the vaccination ticket, the vaccination opportunity will be significantly delayed.For those who have not been vaccinated, if they miss the remaining slots at the university, they will have the opportunity to receive large-scale vaccinations and group vaccinations (Inquiries about vaccinations at the campus location and surrounding municipalities) to apply.August 29th (Sunday) is the final deadline for applications.Even if there are spaces left, we will accept reservations from outside the university on a first-come, first-served basis after the 30th, so the priority of our students will be lost.
□ Strong demand for vaccination and request for survey responses
Time is running out if we try to finish vaccinations by the fall semester.We request that the vaccine be given on campus or promptly at a large vaccination venue as shown in the attached sheet.
You can choose not to get vaccinated, but you must understand that the risk of infection will increase and that self-determination may lead to disadvantages in your studies and social life in the future. Please decide.
In addition, it is very regrettable that there are students who have not responded to the survey on whether they have been vaccinated by the web class from the student center this time.Please call your friends too.I strongly request everyone's cooperation in dealing with this important situation, so that there will be no students who are unaware or unaware of this.
I sincerely hope that the day will come when everyone can safely return to their daily lives and regain their campus life together without being infected.Until then, please take good care of yourself and continue to prevent infection.
