Japan opens mass state-run COVID vaccination centers in Tokyo, Osaka
Japan opened large-scale state-run coronavirus vaccination centers on Monday in Tokyo and Osaka in a bid to accelerate the country s inoculation program that has lagged behind other developed countries and fueled concerns about the plan to hold the Olympics in the capital in two months.
The centers, run by the Self-Defense Forces, will operate for three months from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. including weekends and national holidays. They will use the vaccine developed by Moderna Inc. of the United States, which was approved by the government on Friday.
