Japan taking cautious approach to COVID-19 vaccination ruled out.
Paining preparation is in progress in Japan ahead of the planned rollout of coronavirus vaccinations
by late February, with authorities holding a test
run at a local gymnasium in Kawasaki where nurses simulated inoculations of volunteers.
The drill involving some 60 people, each wearing a bib bearing the name of the role they are
playing such as "doctor" and "person to be vaccinated," was held Wednesday in the city with a
population of 1.5 million adjoining Tokyo.
Medical workers are expected to be eligible for
vaccinations first, followed by people aged 65 or older,
then people with pre-existing conditions and those caring for the elderly.
The mock vaccination targeted a rapid pace — inoculating 30 people per hour .
